In this project Lazar has created another of his hyper-livable top floors—half indoors, half outdoors—that could arguably be the beating heart of the home. A sunny gathering space and gourmet kitchen are gathered under an elevated ceiling. Lined with windows and stocked with gleaming counters, the big room opens onto an equally spacious ocean-view deck that could morph either way: as everyday living space or party central.

Rustic meets chic in the Arden Ridge collection. Incorporate mahogany solids for enduring style, and add the classic straight lines and felt-lined drawers in the server for timeless elegance. The sepia wall art and neutral-colored rug soften the atmosphere of distressed finishes to create the perfect rustic retreat.

The gray and lavender pallet in this dining room delivers a Zen-like experience. It appears that this is a black and white photographic image, but it is not the case. The subtle tones are so cool and calming that they translate as a range of grays in the photo. The soft color scheme is wonderfully pure and a perfect ally in a space designed to nourish.
