Noelle Interiors

What was the guiding design vision for this home?

To create a home that feels architectural, timeless and deeply connected to its materials. The inspiration draws from Mediterranean architecture, where simplicity, proportion and craftsmanship shape the experience of the space. Rather than relying on decorative gestures, the design focuses on form, texture and light to create interiors that feel sculpted, calm and enduring. 

How did you translate that vision into this space?

We approached the interiors through architectural gestures that feel integrated into the structure of the home. Hand-applied plaster walls bring softness and depth, while recessed niches in the great room replace traditional shelving, creating moments that feel both intentional and timeless. Natural stone and warm wood tones introduce contrast and warmth while maintaining the home’s calm material palette.

A central design focus was the relationship between the backyard pool and the ground-level entertainment room. A multi-sliding door system allows the space to open entirely to the pool terrace. At the bar, an awning-style window lifts to connect the interior bar with the outdoor pool bar, creating an effortless interaction between the two spaces. Mediterranean blue tones woven into the bar materials echo the color of the pool, reinforcing the connection between architecture, landscape and the relaxed rhythm of outdoor entertaining.

The home feels luxurious but understated. How did you achieve that balance?

Luxury here is expressed through material integrity and craftsmanship rather than embellishment. There’s a confidence in restraint—allowing limestone, plaster and natural stone to speak for themselves without competing elements. By carefully editing each decision and prioritizing cohesion over trend, the home maintains a sense of calm sophistication. The Mediterranean influence reinforces that discipline—spaces feel substantial and grounded while remaining filled with natural light and subtle elegance. Nothing feels overstated, yet everything feels intentional.

What do you hope the owners feel when living in the space?

I hope they feel a sense of ease and belonging. The home was designed to feel grounded and welcoming—warm underfoot, textural to the touch and intuitively functional. It’s a space where daily rituals feel elevated without ever feeling precious. Ultimately, I want the home to age beautifully, gaining character over time while remaining a sanctuary that feels both refined and deeply personal.
