THIS HOME IS A S HOWCAS E HOME–A GALLERY OF WHAT OUR AREA’S MOST TALENTED DES IGNERS HAVE TO OFFER. Having vacationed in the Northwest Florida area from the early 1980s until he became a full-time resident in 1994, Jazayeri has long felt the environment there was worth preserving. A home should work with the landscape, blending with and taking cues from it rather than competing with it. The VIE Beach House’s natural elements and soft color palette reflect this ethos. “From the onset of this project, we all understood that our one nonnegotiable was inviting the nature that surrounds us inside the home,” Jazayeri says. “By designing around the beautiful environment that surrounds us, we created a living space where the boundaries of the indoor and outdoor spaces of the home are blurred.” As evidenced in the folding Euro-Wall doors provided by Frank’s Cash and Carry, the cabinets rendered by Cindy McCarley, the Bevolo outdoor gas lanterns, the interiors by Summer House Lifestyle, Betsey Mosby Interior Design, Lovelace Interiors, and Maison30a, and the custom tile and lighting designs by Q Tile + Design Studio throughout the home, each room and show home partner puts the luxury coastal mind-set on display. The result is truly stunning. “This home is a showcase home—a gallery of what our area’s most talented designers have to offer. Usually, I am not as intimately involved with design selections through and through, but being part of such a talented working team inspired the way I wanted to showcase each artist in the home’s overall design. Its uniqueness rests on a new, reimagined way of looking at what Seagrove has become while still tipping one’s hat to the Old Seagrove feel and what Old Florida seaside living is all about.” The home’s overall feel is restorative, Jazayeri shares. It’s an elegant home for the new owners, who hail from Wisconsin and can now experience the best of 30-A
