LEIVARS were the winners of the Elite Residential Property Award at The design et al Elite Awards 2023.

A spectacular coastal residence bringing harmony between the old and new. LEIVARS were invited into the project mid-way through construction work to design the interiors for this stunning family coastal retreat.

The brief was to use the three colour tones from the original stained-glass window of this 1930’s house yet bring the design into the 21st century working with the incredible design by the architects who managed to create a breath-taking angled rear extension to fully absorb the ever-changing coastline throughout the year. Working with the three key colours, LEIVARS set out to add block colours and select angles in design and patterns that took on and complemented the rear extension detail. Use of teal, mustard and deep red tones were used throughout to ensure consistency and cohesion in design.

The open plan area needed to be fun and relaxed for the younger family members, yet the two salon rooms were to be slightly more refined for evening drinks using inspiration from the clients travels to the Far East. The bedroom was to have soothing tones that would balance with the sea scape views to be enjoyed all year round.

The colour palette complements the ever-changing tones of the sky and sea, when the weather is slightly wilder the mustard/gold tones coupled with the warm undertones add a sense of cosiness giving a general glow as you enter from one space to the next and when the sun is beaming through, the cooler tones of the teal bring the scheme back. A great mixture of texture and details throughout bring strong sight lines that draw you from space to space organically.
