The Project​
This breathtaking oceanfront family vacation retreat is nestled between the beach and harbor, offering panoramic sunset views that captivate the senses. Our mission was to highlight the natural beauty of the surroundings while infusing the interior with elements that evoke the tranquility of the ocean.

​
The Client​
Our four times repat clients engaged AHD to create a vacation home and a gathering spot for their extensive family. Our clients wanted to continue the family tradition of vacationing in this ocean-front property, much like their parents have done with them when they were kids.
​
Inspiration and Our Approach​
Inspired by sandy shores, we chose white-washed wood veneers and wood-look porcelain tile flooring for their practicality and resilience, perfect for a space frequented by energetic grandkids. The tiles were installed in a unique pattern, inviting guests to "walk along the plank" toward the stunning vistas.
​
The dining room pays tribute to the couple's engagement in Santorini, featuring canvas prints of cherished memories. We selected the ideal "Santorini blue" tones for the accent walls in both the dining room and master bedroom, weaving their story into the design.
Custom millwork crafted with laminated wood veneers combines elegance with durability in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen is inspired by a communal hotel lounge table and the bathrooms exude spa-like serenity with natural textures and sandy hues, enhanced by thoughtful lighting.
​
The kids' room bursts with vibrant colors and durable materials for creative play, while the guest bedroom offers relaxation with palm leaf motifs and organic accents.
Our design features a light and airy color palette inspired by sand and sea, with strategic pops of color adding vibrancy for the perfect coastal paradise.
