Dominica Model Interior in Westlake at West Bay Club

I was selected to create the interior design for the Dominica single-family villa model being built by Gulfshore Homes in the Westlake neighborhood of the West Bay Club community in Estero. The home includes 3,057 square feet under air with three bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, a study, a flowing great room, island kitchen, and dining area, an outdoor living area with a fireplace, summer kitchen, pool and spa, and a three-car garage. Giso will mix woods and white tones to present an ambiance that is both earthy and refined. My color palette and earthy, refined style will be established in the foyer where the white walls and trim will be contrasted by a rich chocolate brown cork wall covering in niches on both sides of the space. Transparent white dimensional art pieces will be set against the cork background. To convey the feeling of walking in a forest, a one-inch mother-of-pearl ceramic and abalone porcelain chicklet tile detail will be set into the main porcelain flooring at six-inch intervals to suggest twigs laying on the ground. A chandelier with circular elements that will be progressively smaller as they tier from top to bottom will be suspended from a gabled tongue-in-groove ceiling and allude to water flowing across a surface. The combination of elements will evoke a sense of walking outdoors.
