Located in Vero Beach, Florida, this contemporary residence offers magnificent oceanfront living in a stunning setting surrounded by lush gardens. DJDS created the contemporary elegant interiors for this grand home designed by architect Erik Helgen, AIA in collaboration with Alloy. Completed in summer of 2014, the 18,400 sq ft. residence occupies almost the entire width of 200 feet of ocean frontage maximizing the ocean views from all primary rooms.

Given the rather contemporary and understated style of the architecture, the client was not too keen on interiors that shouted "Florida beach house" and was curious to see what an international design outlook could bring to the space. With this in mind, DJDS designed interiors of a contemporary elegance combined with international influences by bringing together artfully applied custom lighting installations, textures, furniture sourced from all over the world, finds from the owner's travels, vintage pieces and a variety of custom designed furnishings.

A well-considered material concept allows a seemingly effortless flow from one area to the next while imbuing each of the soaring primary spaces as well as the more private secondary spaces with its own distinct feel. All over the house subtle Alabama limestone creates an elegant atmosphere with its velvety texture or a more rustic feel with its split-face version. Wall panels, flooring and joinery in walnut form a beautiful contrast with the stone finishes and add warmth and character. A meticulous design process paid close attention to every space and every detail mattered as an integral part of the design and to give each space the individuality it deserves.

The interiors of this property have been featured in a number of publications. Most recently in the 2015 spring issue of Florida Design.
