Tucked between the sound and the Atlantic ocean, this home built in North Carolina's Outer Banks represents the natural, coastal surrounding. With clean lines, open and bright spaces and a casual comfort, it is a pairing of surf and scandi style throughout.

While the interior is set against a white backdrop and flooded with natural light, the exterior draws a modern take on a classic black and white style, which is built on stilts to raise the entire home off the ground.

Bringing together a balance of design elements, and functional components such as the outdoor shower and home office, this "beach box" captures the heart of the homeowners.
