COLOR CONNECTS THE INDOORS TO THE OUT In all of her residential projects, Fisher likes each room to have its own relationship to the outdoors. “So this sequence of spaces and their relationship, it’s kind of like each space has its own little story, its own little color scheme. And you can probably trace it back to each individual pebble.”
While Myck-Wayne knew overall the colors she wanted in each room, she and Fisher together chose the accents based on “what we wanted to see from where,” according to the architect. “When there’s an exceptionally blue sky outside and you’re in the great room, you look up through the clerestory windows and you see the sky and it’s almost the same color blue that’s in the guest room,” Fisher says. “There’s a lot of fun plays on color, so even when you’re inside you still get that connection to the exterior.” Thanks to smart design, light streams
through the house and bounces off the colors, connecting Myck-Wayne to the ocean, the cliffs and those inspiring pebbles, which continue to wash new color ashore just down the street. “It’s a really daunting process, building a house from the ground up. The amount of choices you have to make is amazing,” Myck-Wayne says. “Starting with a handful of pebbles that I found appealing helped narrow some of those choices. I just knew that it was one way to feel good about the colors and achieve a coastal look without the kitsch. You know: without a million starfish and a lobster trap.” Joann Plockova writes for publications such as The New York Times and Monocle from Prague, where the lack of light has increased her appreciation for color.
