Designing a Paradise by the Sea
A house by the sea should be a house of dreams—open to ocean breezes, light, and the carefree joy of childhood. Internationally renowned interior designer Celerie Kemble has long been inspired by the sun and surf, from beach-filled childhood days to discovering a wild stretch of coastline in the Dominican Republic in 2004. There, she created Playa Grande: an island retreat of family homes and guesthouses designed for effortless indoor–outdoor living.
In her latest book, Island Whimsy, Kemble shares the deeply personal and creative journey behind Playa Grande, weaving her family’s story into the landscape to offer inspiration, joy, and a true sense of escape.
