Showcasing the highest levels of quality, innovation and luxury available to London Bay clients, the clean-lined soft-contemporary architecture of 256 Aqua Court is echoed by the sophisticated modern design of Romanza’s Senior Design Director Jennifer Stevens.
“Off whites and soft beiges are warmed with deeper wood tones, charcoal gray, organic textures and metals ranging from bronze to copper with touches of gold,” she said. “The furniture’s bold, clean lines are strong and inviting, emphasizing comfort and simplicity.
”Kirwin’s landscape design elevates privacy from the street and creates a backyard oasis. Offering a custom pool,the outdoor living space features a freestanding spa and terraces, including an open-air destination with a fire table and ambiance-enhancing down lit trees.
Dual driveways frame each side of the entry, providing access to a three-car garage and a motor court for guest parking. The dramatic two-story entry tower and balcony is clad in charcoal gray matte porcelain slabs.Charcoal pavers, dark metal windows and the rich wood tones of tongue-and-groove ceilings and soffits add to the elegant architectural forms as do the linear panels of the wood-and-glass entry door.

The great room features a custom built-in and low-profile furniture introducing ecru and oatmeal tones warmed by oiledjava wood finishes, dark bronze metals and a variety of textured materials.
“There’s a lot of texture at play–from tweed, embossed and shagreen finishes, rich woods and textural metals in furniture, lighting and accessories,” said Stevens. “In keeping with the simplicity,decorative elements are minimal,and ceilings are simple step-up trays with wallpaper.
