This low-key two-story house is sited on a classic ocean front site. The original house, slated for demolition, was built into the dune before current coastal construction standards requiring a much higher elevation. The goal was to keep the existing scale and dynamics of the site and design a residence that reflected the footprint and spirit of the original home. Materials for the new house include Alaskan cedar shingle panels interspersed with glass sections. The home has three levels: one for the owners, one for their guests, and one for living and dining. A simple glass and shingle pavilion overlooks a negative edge pool while a path from the garage leads through a natural seaside landscape along the pool and up to the house.
Solar control is achieved though the use of overhangs in the southern exposures. Extra thick walls allow for superior insulation, and a geothermal system is employed for cooling.

Stelle Lomont Rouhani Architects The interior designer is Robert Stilin, LLC, East Hampton, NY. His office did the interiors, they should be able to answer your question.
Coastal: The peace of the sea makes itself at home in each room of your house. Your interiors pay homage to the deep blue waters, its inhabitants, the general locale, and worry-free living.
Use the lines of your furniture to evoke your coastal vibe. Although the only coastal colors in this room are in the painting, the design of the bed emphasizes the beachside mood with its wave-like headboard.
So I don't like the shape of the headboard but I love the open brightness as well as the oversize rug. I'm thinking Malibu... Organic berries to go with that morning walk on the beach anyone?!
