PacificLuxuryLiving.com 40 | Featured Properties Carolyn Pace, LLC ~ This stunning beachfront home with interiors and surfaces by Carolyn Pace was designed to emphasize the indoor/ outdoor lifestyle. Catered to the tastes of the male homeowner, this second-floor bath was ideal for soaking in the fresh water, salty breezes, and breathtaking view. Windows electronically disappear into the walls for an unobstructed view from this corner position. Pace brings the outdoors in with natural materials such as travertine, granite, coral stone and uses luxury fixtures like the Kholer tub and Hansgrohe tub filler. (See Page 38) Pace also suggests including water features both indoors and out. Whether in a natural pond, fountain, or cascad- ing waterfall, both the visual and the sound of water lends well to the lifestyle. The same effect can be achieved with the reverse tactic – bringing typical interior features outside. With outdoor showers, kitchens, and even sleeping spaces, it might feel like a current-day Swiss Family Robinson; however, with modern technology and the option to retreat to the covered indoors, it’s simply a dream come true. The design of the interior spaces in a home is equally as important. By positioning the structure in line with the pattern of the trade winds, you can literally bring the outdoors in. The refreshing breeze car- ries the scents and life of The Islands through your house – neutralizing the temperature and eliminating the need for air conditioning. To make sure there is proper ventilation and unobstructed views, effective windows are key. Double pane, tinted, and Low E Glass all
