The Client’s Vision: A Coastal Sanctuary
The owners of the Orient Point Beach House envisioned a space that would serve as a peaceful retreat, a place to relax and unwind while enjoying the stunning views of the Long Island Sound. They wanted a design that embraced the coastal surroundings, incorporating natural materials and colors that would create a seamless transition from the indoors to the outdoors. The goal was to create a space that was both luxurious and comfortable, with an emphasis on maximizing natural light and showcasing the views.
The clients also required a renovation that would enhance the functionality of the space, making it suitable for both quiet getaways and entertaining guests. The design needed to accommodate family gatherings, weekend retreats, and social events, all while maintaining a sense of tranquility and privacy.

Renovation: Enhancing Structure and Functionality
The renovation of the Orient Point Beach House began with a comprehensive assessment of the existing structure. While the house was in good condition, it required several updates to improve its functionality and better align with the client’s vision. Paris K Interior Design + Architecture worked closely with the homeowners to identify areas that needed enhancement, including the kitchen, bathrooms, living spaces, and outdoor areas.
1. Kitchen Renovation: The Heart of the Home
The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home, and for the Orient Point Beach House, it was no exception. The existing kitchen was functional but lacked the openness and modernity that the clients desired. Paris K redesigned the kitchen to create a more open and inviting space, perfect for cooking, dining, and entertaining.
The new kitchen layout features an open-plan design that seamlessly connects with the dining and living areas. Custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a large central island were incorporated to enhance both functionality and aesthetics. The use of natural materials, such as stone countertops and wooden cabinetry, reflects the coastal surroundings and adds warmth to the space.
2. Bathroom Renovation: Creating Spa-Like Retreats
The bathrooms in the Orient Point Beach House were transformed into spa-like retreats, offering a luxurious escape from the everyday. Paris K Interior Design + Architecture focused on creating spaces that were both functional and serene, with a design that embraced natural light, soothing colors, and high-quality materials.
Each bathroom was redesigned to include spacious walk-in showers, freestanding bathtubs, and custom vanities. Natural stone tiles, soft lighting, and elegant fixtures were used to create a sense of tranquility and relaxation. The master bathroom, in particular, was designed with a focus on luxury, featuring a large soaking tub positioned to take advantage of the stunning ocean views.
3. Living and Dining Areas: Maximizing Views and Light
One of the primary goals of the renovation was to maximize the natural light and views throughout the living and dining areas. Paris K achieved this by reconfiguring the layout to create a more open and airy space that allows for unobstructed views of the Long Island Sound.
Large windows and sliding glass doors were installed to bring in natural light and provide seamless access to the outdoor spaces. The use of light, neutral colors, and natural materials in the decor further enhanced the connection between the indoors and outdoors. The living area was furnished with comfortable, coastal-inspired furniture that invites relaxation, while the dining area was designed to accommodate both intimate family dinners and larger gatherings.
4. Outdoor Living: Expanding the Usable Space
The outdoor areas of the Orient Point Beach House were just as important as the interiors. Paris K Interior Design + Architecture worked to create outdoor spaces that would extend the living areas and make the most of the beautiful surroundings. The design included the renovation of the existing deck, the addition of an outdoor kitchen and dining area, and the creation of a cozy outdoor lounge space.
The deck was expanded to provide more space for entertaining and relaxation, with comfortable seating, a fire pit, and a hot tub. The outdoor kitchen was equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, making it easy to prepare meals while enjoying the ocean breeze. The addition of a pergola provided shade and added an architectural element that tied the outdoor spaces together.
Interior Design: Coastal Elegance with a Modern Twist
With the renovation complete, Paris K Interior Design + Architecture turned their attention to the interior design. The goal was to create a space that reflected the coastal location while incorporating modern design elements that would ensure the home remained stylish and functional for years to come.
1. Color Palette and Materials: Embracing the Coast
The color palette for the Orient Point Beach House was inspired by the natural beauty of the coastal environment. Soft shades of blue, green, and sand were used throughout the home to create a calming and cohesive atmosphere. These colors were complemented by the use of natural materials such as wood, stone, and rattan, which added warmth and texture to the space.
The furnishings and decor were carefully selected to enhance the coastal theme while maintaining a modern aesthetic. Paris K chose pieces that were both stylish and durable, ensuring that the home would be both beautiful and practical. Textiles such as linen and cotton were used for upholstery and window treatments, adding to the relaxed and inviting feel of the home.
2. Custom Furniture and Built-Ins: Maximizing Space and Functionality
To make the most of the available space, Paris K Interior Design + Architecture incorporated custom furniture and built-ins throughout the home. These pieces were designed to maximize storage, enhance functionality, and contribute to the overall aesthetic of the space.
In the living room, custom built-in shelving was installed to house books, decorative items, and entertainment equipment. The shelves were designed to blend seamlessly with the existing architecture, providing a functional and visually appealing solution. In the bedrooms, custom wardrobes and storage solutions were incorporated to keep the spaces organized and clutter-free.
The custom furniture included a mix of contemporary and coastal-inspired pieces, each carefully chosen to complement the design scheme. The result was a cohesive and harmonious interior that reflected the clients’ lifestyle and preferences.
3. Lighting Design: Enhancing the Ambiance
Lighting played a crucial role in the interior design of the Orient Point Beach House. Paris K Interior Design + Architecture developed a lighting plan that enhanced the ambiance of each space while providing the necessary illumination for daily activities.
The design included a mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting, creating layers of light that added depth and interest to the interiors. Recessed lighting was used in the living areas to provide even, glare-free illumination, while pendant lights and chandeliers added a touch of elegance to the dining areas. In the bedrooms, soft, warm lighting was used to create a relaxing and cozy atmosphere.
Accent lighting was also used to highlight architectural features, artwork, and decorative elements throughout the home. This not only added visual interest but also helped to create a welcoming and inviting environment.
4. Art and Accessories: Adding Personality and Charm
No interior design is complete without the finishing touches, and Paris K Interior Design + Architecture took great care in selecting the art and accessories for the Orient Point Beach House. The goal was to add personality and charm to the space while complementing the overall design scheme.
The art collection included a mix of coastal-inspired pieces, contemporary paintings, and sculptures, each chosen to enhance the aesthetic of the home. These pieces were carefully curated to reflect the clients’ tastes and interests, adding a personal touch to the interiors.
Accessories such as throw pillows, rugs, and decorative objects were also selected to add texture, color, and interest to the spaces. These items were chosen for their quality and style, ensuring that they would enhance the overall design without overwhelming the space.
Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Design
Sustainability is a core value of Paris K Interior Design + Architecture, and the renovation and design of the Orient Point Beach House were no exception. The project incorporated a range of eco-friendly materials and practices, ensuring that the home was as environmentally responsible as it was beautiful.
Low-VOC paints and finishes were used throughout the home to improve indoor air quality and reduce environmental impact. Energy-efficient appliances, lighting, and climate control systems were installed to reduce energy consumption and lower the home’s carbon footprint.
In addition to these sustainable practices, Paris K also incorporated biophilic design elements into the project. This included the use of natural materials, the integration of indoor plants, and the maximization of natural light, all of which contributed to the health and well-being of the occupants.
