With sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean from nearly every room, the 2014 Philharmonic House of Design is the ultimate luxury beach house. Set in an exclusive area of Southern California’s Dana Point, the 7,500-square-foot Mediterranean modern home was transformed this past June by 19 interior designers for the benefit of the Philharmonic Society and its Youth Music Education Programs. The house featured an onsite boutique, as well as a cafe and wine bar, and showed off amenities such as a wellness retreat, state-of-the-art home entertainment theatre and chef’s kitchen. Soothing shades of soft blues, greens and driftwoods were used throughout the home to evoke the tranquil spirit of the sea with pops of texture thrown in to capture its volatility. A variety of lighting designs from Littman Brands illuminated the upscale beach house. With a view overlooking the ocean, the great room by Megan Crane Designs, Inc. was the perfect place to relax and unwind. Crane hung three of Corbett Lighting’s Vertigo pendants at different heights from a custom-built canopy to add depth and dimension to the space (as well as conceal wiring). Vertigo’s dizzying array of silver rings mixed beautifully with the room’s neutral color palette and burnished metallic accents. Natural elements such as the stone fireplace and wooden beams rounded out the space, creating harmony and balance. The dining room by Wendy Ann Miller Interior Design utilized hardwood furnishings, exotic stone and decadent upholstery to define the open and elegant space. Beautifully capturing the light with its faceted Italian glass, Corbett’s Amadeus chandelier captivated attention above the dining room table and added rustic European sophistication to the lavish modern Mediterranean environment. Using the same materials in slightly different ways, the “his and her” style master bath by Cindy Smetana Interiors was designed to individualize the two sides while maintaining unity throughout the space. With a dazzling antique silver finish, Troy Lighting’s Mercury pendant provided shimmering illumination. In the guest suite bath by Tawnya L. Coleman Interior Design, two of Troy’s Maidstone pendants were hung above the custom vanity, where they exuded graceful elegance. The master bath features a corner vignette anchored by Troy Lighting’s shimmering Mercury pendant – the perfect accent piece 17
The eclectic home office by Lisa McDennon Design offered modern style with understated glamour. The room’s bold color choices harmonized with meaningful objets d’art, while Troy’s Uni pendant, suspended from the elegant tray ceiling, doubled as a lighting fixture and sculptural art piece. In the adjoining bath and dressing area, McDennon punctuated the modern white room with a striated onyx inset, utilizing Hudson Valley Lighting ®’s fixtures to illuminate the elegant yet functional space. The linear Glendale pendant casts a warm glow from its tungsten filament bulbs, while two Amherst sconces added lightness and balance.

On the lower level, the seaside theatre by Anne Michaelsen Design was the perfect private getaway. Combining state-of-the-art technology with cozy sophistication, the coastal modernist theatre featured an ocean-inspired color palette and custom upholstered pieces. Bringing together Hollywood’s Golden Age with today’s modern LED technology, four Harlow sconces by Corbett Lighting were mounted to the wall columns. Meanwhile, the adjoining coral lounge by J. Elizabeth Interiors allowed the room to be opened up into a larger entertaining space. Corbett’s gleaming Big Bang pendant also added a bright burst of light above the gaming table with its vintage style sunburst design. The beach bungalow by Audra Miller Interiors/Suite Dreams evoked the ocean waters with calming shades of blues and greens, while grays and taupes represented the sand and seashells. The bungalow’s bathroom offered two Hudson Valley Harper vanity sconces, providing soft light around the mirror. Across the hallway, even the laundry room was an inspired retreat. Lynn Esola of California Closets created a customized storage space using Italian-inspired wood grains to complement the home’s seaside palette. Two Savona flush mounts by Hudson Valley added retro chic flair to the functional yet stylish space.
