ELYSIAN WOODS RESIDENCE

ARCHITURA

GOLD WINNER: OVERALL INTERIOR DESIGN

This coastal modern, light-filled residence is a perfect canvas for exuberant, creative expression. Thanks to its connection to nature, it’s also ideal for quiet contemplation. This modernist space is still wild at heart. This living space doesn’t compete with nature—it invites her in. Nature clearly accepts that invitation. Her beauty shines through walls of 14-foot-high windows. The house’s vast, common living spaces flow seamlessly together with light wood flooring. The interior palette and furnishings are light, muted and minimalistic—accented by the bold, black slate fireplace in the great room and the exuberantly colorful artworks throughout. Thanks to cantilever construction, the house’s common living spaces are unbroken by columns. That openness is electric with creative possibility—and makes a perfect backdrop for lively social gatherings. The human connection is key here. With its grand piano, the palatial great room becomes a concert hall. Overall, the design of this masterpiece residence is civilized, arty and welcoming.
