Conceptualization

Infused with the spirit of the Pacific, “Surge of Blue” encapsulates the mesmerizing essence of ocean waves, inspired by my family’s cherished journeys to Seattle, Washington, and the enchanting Olympic Peninsula. Each architectural contour mirrors the fluidity and grace of the sea, offering a haven where the soul finds solace in the rhythmic embrace of the waves. It’s a sanctuary where the cool blue waters whisper tales of tranquility, inviting all who enter to immerse themselves in the timeless allure of the ocean’s embrace.

Conceptualization

In a coastal sanctuary where the meeting of clear waters and sandy shores inspire tranquility, whitewashed walls and sandy beige carpets set a serene canvas that echos the simplicity of nature. Soft textures and an abundance of natural light enhances the calming ambiance, contributing to an airy elegance that creates a timeless sanctuary, reminiscent of the gentle convergence where clear waters meet the warm embrace of sandy shores.
