Bermuda - Photos & Ideas

Our La Cañada studio designed this lovely home, keeping with the fun, cheerful personalities of the homeowner. The entry runner from Annie Selke is the perfect introduction to the house and its playful palette, adding a welcoming appeal. In the dining room, a beautiful, iconic Schumacher wallpaper was one of our happy finishes whose vines and garden colors begged for more vibrant colors to complement it. So we added bold green color to the trims, doors, and windows, enhancing the playful appeal. In the family room, we used a soft palette with pale blue, soft grays, and warm corals, reminiscent of pastel house palettes and crisp white trim that reflects the turquoise waters and white sandy beaches of Bermuda! The formal living room looks elegant and sophisticated, with beautiful furniture in soft blue and pastel green. The curtains nicely complement the space, and the gorgeous wooden center table anchors the space beautifully. In the kitchen, we added a custom-built, happy blue island that sits beneath the house’s namesake fabric, Hydrangea Heaven. ---Project designed by Courtney Thomas Design in La Cañada.

At 3,900 square feet, this Lake Ida home sits on a pristine cul-de-sac just steps away from Delray Beach’s downtown shops, restaurants and beach. This contemporary island-blue residence has all the features of an authentic Bermuda home with the web balcony railings, gable roof with white cement tiles and authentic outlookers. The relaxed, open plan offers five bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, separate guest house, coffered ceilings, pool patio and vast covered loggia with rarely-seen adjoining guest house above the garage. Grey walls beautifully contrast the walnut engineered hardwood floors of the great room, a shared living-kitchen-dining space. The gourmet kitchen is clean-lined in stainless and granite with center island, gas cooktop, Shaker-style cabinetry and vintage-like Restoration Hardware Keynes Prism pendants. The second-floor master wing features his-and-her wardrobes and a stone bathroom with built-in under-mount soaking tub and walk-in shower. Two other bedrooms reside here, adjoined by a classic Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The guest retreat above the garage features vaulted ceilings, a breakfast bar and private bathroom. Little Wood is a luxury home custom built with innovative lifestyle design, unprecedented construction details and a level of precision synonymous with Marc Julien Homes’ standard of commitment to perfection.

This four-bedroom PLUS permitted one-bedroom ADU guest house exudes luxury. Meticulously detailed, this home's open floor plan delights with the perfect trifecta of living room, dining room, and kitchen in seamless flow. With hardwood floors, recessed lighting, wainscoting, and dual-pane windows throughout, the added features of a built-in wine bar with wine fridge, open shelving, and geometric accent wall complement the home's aesthetic. The highlight, however, is the dreamy remodeled kitchen featuring Italian Forno appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz counters, farmhouse sink, and breathtaking indigo-tile backsplash. The breakfast bar, with seating for four, shines under contemporary pendant lighting while offering the perfect gathering space for family and guests. The bright and airy primary en suite includes French doors that open to the idyllic backyard featuring an outdoor fireplace and stamped concrete seating area as well as soft Bermuda grass and crisp white privacy walls. Three generous guest bedrooms, two bathrooms and a full size laundry area complete the main home. Out back, a fully permitted one-bedroom, one-bathroom ADU with living area, laundry closet and kitchen makes an ideal space for guests, or potential short or long term rental income.

Designed to be a legacy and space where great family memories could be created, OBMI completed the master planning, landscape, interior design, and architecture of the holistic residential Longtail House project. A modern home wrapped in the classic Bermudian style, it’s comprised of 4 bedrooms with in-suite bathrooms including a master suite and a guest apartment. A Great Room combines all family social activity in one space, with an incorporated living room, dining room, and kitchen. Close by is the Library-Music Room, Media Room, Home Office, back of house kitchen support and laundry. Below the Great Room are the Game Room and the wine cellar, which can be observed from above through a glass floor. There is a large garage for vehicles and various sporting items. At the front of the house, overlooking the ocean is the infinity pool, spa, and gardens with endemic shoreline plants. The previous house on the property site was carefully disassembled and recycled as exemplified by the existing cedar wood floors, which were repurposed as entrance ceilings. Even garden plants were recycled where possible. The biggest challenge was during excavation. With a lot of hard rock present, it took several weeks to cut through. Once the foundation level was achieved, all work went smoothly. The house has a strong emphasis on respecting and nurturing the environment, with igloo nests situated at the edge of the cliffs for Longtail seabirds to repose. The layout was set so as to maximize the best sun orientation for the solar panels and for natural cooling from the offshore breezes to occur.

This "Palatial Villa" is an architectural statement, amidst a sprawling country setting. An elegant, modern revival of the Spanish Tudor style, the high-contrast white stucco and black details pop against the natural backdrop. Round and segmental arches lend an air of European antiquity, and fenestrations are placed providently, to capture picturesque views for the occupants. Massive glass sliding doors and modern high-performance, low-e windows, bathe the interior with natural light and at the same time increase efficiency, with the highest-rated air-leakage and water-penetration resistance. Inside, the lofty ceilings, rustic beam detailing, and wide-open floor-plan inspire a vast feel. Patterned repetition of dark wood and iron elements unify the interior design, creating a dynamic contrast with the white, plaster faux-finish walls. A high-efficiency furnace, heat pump, heated floors, and Control 4 automated environmental controls ensure occupant comfort and safety. The kitchen, wine cellar, and adjoining great room flow naturally into an outdoor entertainment area. A private gym and his-and-hers offices round out a long list of luxury amenities. With thoughtful design and the highest quality craftsmanship in every detail, Palatial Villa stands out as a gleaming jewel, set amongst charming countryside environs.
