Chameleon Design Featured Project: Brightwater // Azurene Sales Gallery, Huntington Beach

Our featured projects from the Brightwater series continue this week with the Azurene Sales Gallery.

This is the largest product type in the master plan at Brightwater, which also includes Seaglass and Capri. For Azurene we wanted the design to look upscale but also convey a relaxed, seaside living feel. To make this sales gallery look different that the other two, we used grasscloth on the walls in the main display area and incorporated reflective mercury glass elements into the decor alongside a beautiful sea urchin inspired chandelier. The sales tools are all interactive and set up on the flat screens on either side of the island for easy viewing. As mentioned before, these are the sales galleries so we’ll have photos and information on the models we’re doing coming soon.

Chameleon Design Featured Project: Brightwater // Seaglass Sales Gallery, Huntington Beach

Brightwater in Huntington Beach is a unique new coastal community offering beautiful ocean views. Seaglass is the “middle” product type in the Brightwater master plan, offering discerning buyers more spacious floor plans and options like game and media rooms that define the essence of casual coastal living.

The Capri Sales Gallery was recently featured on the blog, and we also want to share the Seaglass Sales Gallery, which is equally impressive. The design concept for this particular space was to have a more traditional, “California coastal” feel.  We wanted it to look beachy, but not overly so.  The horizontal paneling and wingback chairs create a feeling of coastal comfort, while soft colors, aqua pottery, coral and shells add to the seaside feel. Artwork is by a local photographer and captures the local landmarks and wildlife. Photos of the models for both plans are coming soon, and in the meantime here are some photos of the Seaglass Sales Gallery to give you a taste of what’s to come:

Chameleon Design Featured Project: Avo Plan 2, La Habra

We featured a model at Avo, a gated community in Northwest Orange County, on our blog a couple weeks ago and have another one to share with you!  This model is also built as a family home but it has a different style and color palette, so there’s something for everyone. The design is casual eclectic, as we mixed modern and rustic pieces with Moroccan accents. The flooring is bleached oak, cabinets are white and walls are painted a soft tan shade. The color palette we worked with includes mocha brown, celery green, soft gold with white and grey accents.  The home has a warm but fresh look that feels very relaxed.

Chameleon Design Featured Project: Avo Plan 2 Alt, La Habra

Avo is a quaint, gated community in Northwest Orange County. This plan is a three-story home with plenty of room for a big family.  The first floor has a Great Room, Dining Room and Kitchen and an Office/ homework space at the landing.  On the second floor you’ll find three Bedrooms, including a Master, as well as a laundry room.  And a third floor has a Bonus Room that’s perfect for a kids play room. We designed it with a updated modern sensibility in mind, and included lots of color pops to add some fun. They’ve done really well since the models opened last November and there is only one more to sell!

Chameleon Design Featured Project: Avant at Escena Plan 2, Palm Springs

Homebuyers who like a mid-century modern aesthetic but don’t want to put money and work into updates, now have the option to purchase a brand new home in the Palm Springs area! These homes are ideal for the buyer who likes to express their personal style and enjoy the serenity and relaxation of desert living. Each plan includes a large master suite with a walk-in closet and gourmet kitchen with upgraded stainless steel appliances and slab-granite countertops.  We had a lot of fun designing the interiors to match the mid-century style of the home’s architecture.

Chameleon Design Featured Project: Belvedere Plan C1-B, Irvine

For Belvedere Plan C1-B at Central Park West in Irvine, a loft-style space, Chameleon Design went for a young, hip and urban feel. The space has two and half walls and a column located right in the middle of room, but we wanted to create a somewhat private area. We utilized a metallic sheer fabric on a track to mirror the curved soffit and create a “peek-a-boo” office/media room. The curtain can either remain open to watch the flat screen TV while cooking in the kitchen, or it can be closed to allow for a bit of privacy.

We went with a curved sectional sofa to create a love lounge for the man who lives here to serenade his girlfriend with one of his guitars. Brick veneer was added to the living and bedroom walls to make the home more loft like and warm wood flooring and paint with pops of color made the home sexy and memorable.

Chameleon Design Featured Project: Belmont Plan 3, San Diego

With Belmont Plan 3, Chameleon Design’s aim was to create a warm and memorable home that would appeal to young buyers with a family.  We anchored the design with grey, weathered wood furniture and paired it with traditional upholstery, French flour sack accent pillows and dark iron and metal accents.  Warm wooden plank floors and cabinetry rounded out the look.

For decorative accents, a collection of white pottery and plates were placed on the open shelving and mirror in the dining area.  Botanicals created a headboard in the master and playful fashion sketches made a great back drop in the girl’s room.

Chameleon Design Featured Project: West Grove, Anaheim

For West Grove, we wanted to create a functional space for an established family.   The style we used was clean, mixed with a “West Elm” sensibility, which is appealing to buyers.  We used a simple, clean soldier-course tile layout, alternating mirrors on the long entry wall and neutral backgrounds.  All of those helped to expand the space, which has a living and dining room that’s on the smaller side and no established entry.  Organic elements and hints of goldenrod color added pizazz and special attention to the scale of furnishings helped with the size challenges. We also paid special attention to details such as Mom’s office in the kitchen and the “launch pad” re-charging station in the mud room.

 

 

Chameleon Design Featured Project: Lexington Plan 3, Valencia

The design and decor of Lexington Plan 3 in Valencia was geared towards the entertainment industry buyer. The plan is a family home with great rooms but no formal spaces. Chameleon Design took a modern eclectic approach with styling, which we know is great for active families.

The red brick wall in the flex space study creates a focal “moment” upon entry. Brick is already on the exterior and repeated inside as well on the family room fireplace. Concrete looking tiles, light taupe walls, warm espresso wood tones and lots of color pops create a modern, spunky, eclectic design. This home is perfect for a family with teenage kids, for it lends to a vibe that’s elegant and casual at the same time.

Chameleon Design Featured Project: Lexington Plan 2, Valencia

One of the newest trends in the housing industry is multi-generational living. Lennar has answered the demand by designing a home within a home that allows extended family to all live together- with private, separate living spaces. The unique floor plan includes a one bedroom apartment with its own entrance, bedroom, bath, kitchenette and living area. The apartment also has a lockable door that connects it to the house.

Chameleon Design was brought on to design the Lexington Plan.  The challenge was to create a comfortable spacious feeling, while about a third of the space on the first floor is taken up by the apartment within the home.   We were able to strike a balance between crisp and cozy with an updated farmhouse style.  The home is designed for a young family and a live in mother-in-law, so we liked the idea of being drawn in by the worn-in pieces, but didn’t want a flea market look.

We accomplished this by devoting some space to modern display.  The bonus room upstairs had clean framed game boards and the physical graffiti (this happened organically from pencils we left for the kids to draw with). Mom’s desk in the kitchen is a nice feature too.
