The Shell House is a playful, thoughtful, and generous abode that embodies the spirit of Summer. It’s bright and bold approach to design defines this beach house as both fun and comfortable. Alchemy’s interior design for this house thrives in it’s North Coast location. The design brief was for the property to be a luxury villa that is an extension to the host’s personality. A beach house that is a lively and welcoming, spacious and considerate.
Alchemy needed the interiors to be a bright reflection of it’s surroundings, taking inspiration from the Summer season. Bold block colours are paired with natural materials for an eyecatching partnership. Playful design emulates the host’s personality, with unconventional shapes being used within the living spaces, and novel design techniques that can be found in all corners of the home. The layering of different textures gives depth and gravity to the space, whilst still keeping a light and open feel to the interiors.
