2026 Interior Design (Whole House) Winner: House on the Point
This coastal home blends modern efficiency with warmth and livability, designed to support an active family while offering a peaceful retreat. The homeowners opted for defined rooms, enhancing both energy efficiency and the quality of daily interactions. Expansive windows frame water views, while thoughtfully placed nooks create moments of intimacy throughout the home. A layered material palette — combining transitional finishes with nostalgic hues — adds depth and comfort without sacrificing a clean, modern sensibility. Color is used strategically, introducing vibrancy and personality while maintaining cohesion across spaces. The layout supports both shared activities and individual routines, balancing openness with privacy. Ultimately, the design achieves a careful equilibrium: a home that feels intentional yet relaxed, modern yet welcoming, and deeply connected to its coastal surroundings.
What the judges said: Light and airy, restrained and relaxing. These interiors will age well.
