BUNK ROOM | Two bunk rooms (one shown) ensure plenty of space for overnight<br />
guests. The vaulted ceiling was a collaboration of the architect, the builder and the<br />
design team. Mericle says, “John Van Duyne said the shape of the ceiling is similar to the<br />
inside of a lifeguard boat.” That’s not a coincidence. According to Mericle, John’s father<br />
and uncle designed the original fiberglass lifeguard boats. “He translated his family<br />
roots into that ceiling detail.”<br />
BATHROOM | One of the only literal coastal references in the house is found in this<br />
bathroom’s whale-inspired wallpaper.<br />
HALLWAY | Artwork in a corridor features a riot of bold colors. “We wanted to break up<br />
the long hallway,” Mericle says, “to create a moment to pause and have something<br />
fun to look at.” The boldly hued pieces hanging from metal links are reminiscent<br />
of beach tags.”<br />
