Our Solution

As a leading interior designer, we embraced this opportunity to push the boundaries of coastal luxury design:

1. Maximized vertical space by creating a three-story layout, rooftop grilling, and observation area, effectively utilizing the narrow lot.
2. Created a stunning living area featuring a curved white sofa and modern furnishings, complemented by a blue and white striped rug that echoes the ocean’s waves.
3. Incorporated a gourmet kitchen with sleek walnut cabinetry, state-of-the-art appliances, and a striking aqua glass countertop, balancing warmth and modernity.
4. Designed a spacious dining area adjacent to the kitchen, featuring white leather chairs and unique glass pendant lighting, perfect for entertaining.
5. Crafted a serene master bedroom with a calming blue accent wall, white bedding, and ocean-inspired artwork, creating a peaceful retreat.
6. Integrated smart home technology, including programmable LED lighting systems, to enhance both functionality and ambiance.
7. Utilized a sophisticated color palette dominated by whites, soft blues, and warm wood tones, which allowed the vibrant ocean views to take center stage. The client’s signature blue color was incorporated into various elements such as tile, Venetian plaster, a custom rug in the living room, and more.

The Result

Our approach transformed this challenging lot into an award-winning masterpiece of modern coastal living, earning the prestigious Florida Design Seaglass Award. The innovative design resulted in a home that:

• Maximizes every inch of the narrow lot, creating a spacious feel despite spatial constraints.
• Offers unparalleled ocean views from every level, including the rooftop observation deck.
• Showcases a perfect balance of textures and materials, from smooth glass surfaces to rich walnut finishes, creating depth and interest.
• Sets a new standard for luxury beach homes in Fernandina Beach, demonstrating how modern, minimalist design can create a warm, inviting space that embraces its coastal setting.
• Incorporates cutting-edge technology for lighting and home automation, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.

This project redefines what’s possible in challenging coastal lots and highlights Studio M’s expertise as an interior designer. By carefully planning every detail and establishing key design elements that complement the oceanfront location, we achieved a harmonious environment that perfectly balances modern aesthetics with coastal comfort.

The result is a home that doesn’t just overlook the ocean—it celebrates it, offering residents a vertical slice of oceanfront luxury that is as functional as it is beautiful. This award-winning design stands as a testament to the innovative spirit and meticulous attention to detail that define Studio M’s approach to high-end coastal interior design on Amelia Island.
