PLATINUM WINNER: BEST OVERALL INTERIOR DESIGN
The goal with Jamaica Way was to create a minimalist interior that was clean and simple with warm tones. Consisting of stained wood floors, walnut cabinets, light quartz countertops and monochromatic wall tiles, the material palette is simple, calm and sophisticated. Juxtaposing but complementing the rich palette of natural textures, hot rolled steel accents in the wall base and custom shelving units bring a slight industrial touch to this refined earthy palette. The modern aesthetic transcends in the selection of the brushed stainless steel plumbing fixtures, minimal light fixtures and furniture. Earthy neutral-tone textiles were selected for the furniture to blend into its soothing context. To visually connect the interiors to the nearby Peace River, blue-tone textiles and elements for furniture, accessories and artwork were strategically selected and located throughout the house.
