This dreamy beach style residence was designed as a vacation home for a Houston couple, designed by Geoff Chick & Associates in WaterColor, Florida. This three-story sanctuary faces a neighborhood park, while the back of the property is nestled into Point Washington State Forest, a large natural preserve. The homeowner, who had a rather vast collection of notes and magazine clippings, was able to decorate this dream getaway herself. The interior scheme consisted of simple, clean lines with a palette of beach-inspired hues—blues, greens and beiges.
Above: All exterior paint colors used on this home are Sherwin Williams. The HardiePlank lap siding color is Misty SW 6232. The trim color is Oyster SW 7637. The garage door as well as the porch ceiling color is Moody Blue SW 6221. For the red cedar shingles—stain was mixed with paint—Rain SW 6219 (using a 5 to 1 stain/paint mix) and the shingles were dipped in this once or twice. The roof consists of 5V crimp (high-quality, low maintenance), mill finish galvalume.
The home encompasses 4,731 square feet of living space, with four beds plus a bunk area, four-and-a-half bathrooms and a spacious apartment above the garage with a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
Above: The wall and ceiling paint are Iceberg 2122-50 | Benjamin Moore; the posts and cabinet paint are White Dove OC-17 | Benjamin Moore; the flooring is Brazilian walnut. The chairs and dining table were sourced from Z Gallerie.
What We Love: This dreamy beach style retreat features a tantalizingly location and aesthetically pleasing design features—both indoors and out. The open concept theme helps everyone to feel really connected, which is perfect when you host your entire family at your vacation home. The color palette is very soothing, offering an inviting atmosphere to relax and stay awhile. We are especially loving the beach sand collection, it is such a creative idea and very personalized… Readers, please share what details in this home caught your eye in the comments below!
Note: Have a look at a couple of our most favorite home tours from the portfolio of Geoff Chick & Associates: Seaside cottage with stylish details in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida and Beach house in WaterColor offers dreamy sea-inspired accents.
Above: This breakfast nook connects the main house with the garage apartment. Highlights includes a Dutch door, farmhouse sink and antique wood furnishings.
Above: The third level features a home theater and office space, while the second level encompasses the bunk room, master bedroom suite and two guest bedrooms.
Above: A nook in the wall features glass shelves displaying beach sand collected from all over the world for the past thirty years. Map wallpaper was affixed to whiteboard and set behind the glass shelves.
Above: The master bathroom was painted in Woodlawn Blue HC-147 | Benjamin Moore (cut 50 percent).
Above: A distressed sliding barn door on the third level closes the house off to the fourth-floor tower to prevent heat loss.
Above: The homeowners had wanted a property with a sea view, since theirs did not have this, the architect constructed the house as high as the Homeowner’s Association would allow. Now they are able to enjoy views from this tower structure, all the way to the beach! The ceiling of this cozy sitting room consists of a pecky cypress.
Above: Due to the intense Florida sunshine, extended eaves helps to cut down on solar heat gain in the tower. The architects also integrated a beam and corbel details to protect the roof from strong hurricane winds.
