There are certain moments in design that stay with you—being asked to create a vacation home for the same client is one of them. This Estero, Florida residence became a continuation of a relationship first built in Holmdel, New Jersey; delivering their dream coastal vacation home continued the joy!
The home itself, though 20 years old, offered a strong architectural foundation. What it lacked was a sense of lightness, cohesion, and connection to its coastal surroundings. Our goal was to reimagine the space as a refined, open and relaxing retreat—one that felt elevated, but never overdone.
Over three months, we thoughtfully developed a full-home design plan, layering materials, finishes, furnishings, and lighting into a cohesive vision. Execution unfolded over eight months, with our team managing every detail from afar—traveling monthly, collaborating closely with a trusted contractor who relocated for the project, and overseeing each installation with intention.
The result is a home that feels effortless and deeply personal—where soft textures, calm woods tones, and subtle coastal influences come together in a way that feels both timeless and entirely their own. This transformation extends well beyond construction—view the interior design of the home to experience how furnishings and finishes completed the vision.
