A small home that gets the most out of color.
The clients have a New York apartment that is restrained by intention. This second home was the place to do the opposite. The brief asked for a single warm gesture per room and for everything to read at a glance.
We kept the architecture simple and let the color do the work. The main room is a soft coral picked up from the hibiscus that grows along the courtyard wall. The dining alcove is a deep terracotta. One bedroom is a sea green. The other is unpainted.
The furniture is mostly cane and rattan from the 1960s, sourced over a long weekend in Miami. The lighting is paper. The art is two prints by a local painter the clients found at a Saturday market and bought on the same trip.
