For Susan and Daniel, a couple entering a new chapter in retirement, this bayside home celebrates ease, color, and connection. The design embraces a refined coastal sensibility—soft neutral backgrounds layered with vibrant fabrics, art, and collected décor. Subtle nods to the island’s fishing heritage add authenticity without resorting to theme, creating a home that feels both classic and contemporary. Spaces flow easily between relaxed daily living and effortless entertaining, reflecting the couple’s love of tennis, friends, and a bright, welcoming home. The result is a retreat that feels timeless, personal, and full of life—a colorful reinterpretation of the Ralph Lauren coastal spirit.
“Working with Colin was effortless. He somehow captured the feeling of our life here—the calm, the color, the joy. Every time I walk into this house, I feel like I’m home in a new way.”
