This home was designed from a tapestry of influences and a lifetime of places that shaped the homeowner: the soulfulness of New Orleans, the grit of New York, European elegance and the barefoot serenity of her favorite dive trips around the world. At the heart of the project, stands the towering tree that first drew the homeowner to the property with its sculptural branches visible from nearly every room, grounding the home in nature. In the opposite direction, ocean views create a dialogue between earth and sea. The result is an interior that feels organic yet refined, a perfect balance of sophistication and tranquility.
