HERB RIVER DRIVE Rethink Design Studio is known for blending old and new, high and low, and unifying various styles into a harmonious environment. For a family renovating a low country home overlooking the river on Dutch Island, the designers worked on the project in three phases. While the wife possessed an ardent love of design, the husband was more interested in function. Through close collaboration, mutual respect and trust, the team created a welcoming, personal and ultra-functional interior that fits the family of four perfectly. Lined with French doors overlooking the water, the “River Room” is the centerpiece of the home. A vaulted ceiling with original trusses lends an airy feel to the interior, which is decorated in a palette of coastal greys with bursts of color in the abstract art and accessories. A custom cocktail table by Verellen anchors the seating area with a sculptural glass chandelier by Ochre Lighting hanging above. 30 PEACHYTHEMAGAZINE.COM
