A Zeal for Zen

Nestled in the heart of Naples’ Mediterra community, this 5,000 sq. ft. home is a stunning embodiment of Zen-inspired design. Entering the space, you encounter a warm and inviting atmosphere with natural materials, earthy tones and plenty of natural light setting the stage for a truly lovely space. 

Throughout the home, low-profile furniture emphasizes functionality, texture, and comfort, keeping the views unobstructed and the atmosphere uncluttered. A curated collection of light fixtures with soft, nature-inspired designs provides gentle illumination, creating a soothing ambiance both day and night.

Take a closer look at this stunning home designed by Kim Collins & Alina Dolan.

Kitchen: A Balance of Beauty and Functionality

The kitchen, a cornerstone of this tranquil home, features 60” x 120” polished Paramount Marmi Calacatta Statuario porcelain tile slabs that grace the backsplash and hood resulting in a continuous look and minimal grout lines. These surfaces are complemented by Skara Brae Cambria countertops, providing a luxurious yet understated focal point. To maintain the kitchen’s minimalist appeal, built-in cabinetry with hidden compartments ensures a clutter-free environment, promoting a sense of calm and order.

 

Master Suite: A Sanctuary of Calmness and Serenity

The master suite in this home was designed as a tranquil sanctuary, offering a soothing escape from the outside world. 

In the master bedroom, the blend of water and floral elements creates a peaceful atmosphere. A combination of wallcoverings forms a showstopping headboard wall, framed by custom designs and illuminated by Hubbardton Forge bronze and crystal sconces. The furniture is thoughtfully designed to be low to the ground, prioritizing functionality and comfort, low-profile seating arrangements add to the room’s tranquility.

Moving into the one-of-a-kind master bath, at the heart lies a stunning freestanding black stone Japanese soaking tub from Aquatica, complete with a walnut step. This deep, elongated tub allows for full immersion, providing the perfect retreat after a long day. The surrounding walls are clad in smooth, large-format porcelain tiles that mimic the texture of natural stone, beautifully complemented by bamboo-inspired textured tiles that introduce a touch of organic beauty.

The spa-like ambiance is further enhanced by custom cabinetry in rift-cut white oak, accented with frosted glass door inserts flanking “Her” vanity, to echo the linear nature of the tiles. A black granite Stone Forest vessel sink, paired with faucets in rose gold, enriches the vanity, adding an element of luxury. Overhead, a dramatic undulating steel chandelier connects all the elements.

Powder Bath: A Fusion of Art and Tranquility

The home’s powder bath is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that defines this project. The space features a custom cantilevered vanity with brass accents and a stunning foliage-inspired pendant. Euphoria Calacatta tile with brass insets in an abstract crocodile pattern adorns the vanity wall, while the other walls feature a unique complementary wall covering. A mirror accented with brass and the low profile sink complete this stunning room.

This home is more than just a living space; it is a haven of tranquility. Every design element, from the natural materials to the minimalist aesthetic, has been carefully chosen to promote relaxation, mindfulness, and a sense of gathering.
