In the heart of Port St. Joe, Florida, the Murdaugh family members are expanding their footprints (and paw prints) into a 4 story coastal home right along the beach. This design of the Murdaugh home is inspired by the characteristics of sea glass - a beach element which represents Mrs. Murdaugh’s joyful childhood. Sea glass is known for its durability, smooth and soft surface, and beautiful variety of colors which can range anywhere from white, to seafoam green, to even copper. To mirror the concept’s durability, this design will incorporate the use materials with a long life cycle such as bamboo flooring and ceramic tiling. Secondly, the design will include design elements which reflect the sea glass’ smooth surface through the choice of soft fabrics used and lighting throughout each floor providing the family with a sense of comfort and security. Lastly, cool and neutral colors will be spread throughout in order to harmonize each floor in the home and create a subtle and simple coastal home experience for the Murdaugh family.
