Southern Beach Getaway in WaterColor Private Residence / WaterColor, Florida Architect: Geoff Chick & Associates Builder: Chris Clark Construction The E. F. San Juan team collaborated closely with architect Geoff Chick, builder Chris Clark, interior designer Allyson Runnels, and the homeowners to bring their design vision to reality. This included custom interior and exterior millwork, pecky cypress ceilings in various rooms of the home, different types of wall and ceiling paneling in each upstairs bedroom, custom pecky cypress barn doors and beams in the master suite, Euro-Wall doors in the living area, Weather Shield windows and doors throughout, Georgia pine porch ceilings, and Ipe porch flooring. Challenges: Allyson and the homeowners wanted each of the children’s upstairs bedrooms to have unique features, and we addressed this from a millwork perspective by producing different types of wall and ceiling paneling for each of these rooms. The homeowners also loved the look of pecky cypress and wanted to see this unique type of wood featured as a highlight throughout the home. Solution: In the main living area and kitchen, the coffered ceiling presents pecky cypress stained gray to accent the tiled wall of the kitchen. In the adjoining hallway, the pecky cypress ceiling is lightly pickled white to make a subtle contrast with the surrounding white paneled walls and trim. The master bedroom has two beautiful large pecky cypress barn doors and several large pecky cypress beams that give it a cozy, rustic yet Southern coastal feel. Off the master bedroom is a sitting/TV room featuring a pecky cypress ceiling in a stunning rectangular, concentric pattern that was expertly installed by Edgar Lara and his skilled team of finish carpenters. We also provided twelve-foot-high floor-to-ceiling Euro-Wall Systems doors in the living area that lend to the bright and airy feel of this space, as do the Weather Shield windows and doors that were used throughout the home. Finally, the porches’ rich, South Georgia pine ceilings and chatoyant Ipe floors create a warm contrast to the bright walls, columns, and railings of these comfortable outdoor spaces. The result is an overall stunning home that exhibits all the best characteristics of the WaterColor community while standing out with countless unique custom features. --- Photography by Jack Gardner

The clean, uninterrupted sight lines of this bathroom lead the eye to the arched shower room opening, where on the right is the shower and to the left, a built-in whirlpool tub. The clerestory daylighting contributes masterfully to the ambient light while affording privacy, and unique touches like above-mount sinks, wall-mount fixtures, framed mirrors and teak mats provide the bathroom with plenty of personality.

The stunning acrylic panel with a digital image of lotus and lilypads makes this bathroom an eye-stopper. You will find four such places around the bathroom with this type of imaging, bringing a joyous and color-filled approach: the shower wall, the shampoo niche (2), and at the head of the bathtub. During manufacture, after the image is applied to the back of a 1/4" acrylic panel, a single coat of color is added to disguise the backboard. The small MR16s recessed in the ceiling help to illuminate the mural. Cat Anderson with Cat Anderson Design Consulting designed this beautiful space. Photo: Dan Bawden

In this well-lit and spacious bath you will find good attention to detail, from a properly sloping bench in the shower to a shower door handle that doubles as a towel holder. Its warm elegance is enhanced by the tile mosaic stripe that accents both the shower and tub areas. The frameless glass shower enclosure conforms exactly to the profile of the shower pony wall and bench, maintaining the clean lines of simple elegance. New lighting and a vent on a timer are welcome details to this bath's functionality. Photo: Dan Bawden
