Then-Town Architect and 2019 Seaside Prize Winner, Charles Warren, used the ancient Roman statesman Pliny the Younger's letters as a jumping off point for the design of his highly lauded Neoclassical villa and Pompeiian-red icon at the corner of Odessa and Forest. Every color and most decor elements are original and intentional, informed by antiquity to create a ''gentle mediation between man and nature'' that would make Pliny proud. Drawing on the inherent perfection of the golden ratio for its exacting proportions, every aspect is true to Warren's interpretation and symmetry, right down to the deliberate cube-within-cube placement of the master bed. Articulated as a sequence of increasingly classical details inward and upward across three levels, it is equal parts indoors and out.
