project was an important milestone
for Evan Edward, as the duo had just
launched the firm when it began. Since
then, the firm has become a reference
in the country — and beyond — being
honored among the 1stdibs 50 list of
designers in 2022 and 2023.
The creamy and sandy beach tones are
a direct reference to the natural context
while the combination of materials —
from terrazzo, marble, travertine, jasper,
Lapitec and wood to parchment, caning,
raffia, leather, metal and brass — simul-
taneously bring visual surprises and a
sense of cohesiveness.
In this serene oasis, the main inspiration
smartly came from a mix of midcentury
tropical modernism and European art
deco, with some references to the work
of Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa.
Blurring the lines between inside and
out, the home features lightweight fabrics
and character-filled furniture that invite
anyone to sit and admire the panorama
— because, in the end, it's all about the
view.
Evan Edward was in charge of all inte-
rior architecture (including the millwork,
bathrooms, kitchen and stair design) and
advised on the materials and finishes
while JV did the landscaping.
"The result is better than we could have
imagined but very consistent with the
design brief [that focused on indoor-out-
door living] and intention/functional
requirements [to create spaces that
are ideal for hosting]," says Evan. "We
created a calming and sophisticated
environment that is ultimately approach-
able and transformable for daily use as
well as entertaining."
