"While the couple envisioned subtle nods to old Hollywood throughout the home, Williams found a particularly personal muse here in Talani. "She was an incredibly talented, creative, beautiful model in the '90s when it was not very common for an African-American woman to be a successful model," Williams shares. "She's a fashion diva, so she definitely needed a fabulous salon.""
"Another heady amalgamation of inspiration emerges in the hair salon. Black-and-white stonework-custom fabricated from two varieties of marble-references the Chanel camellia, lending the space its graphic elegance. Glamour is achieved through materiality rather than color, making it one of the few areas intentionally kept restrained and monochromatic. "Everybody who walks into that room is like, 'Oh my God,'" Talani laughs. "They want to make an appointment.""
"The ocean is as much a part of the home as any light fixture, piece of furniture, or wall covering. Williams kept the furniture intentionally low, ensuring sight lines remain uninterrupted. In the primary suite, which opens to views on three sides, a restrained palette echoes the sea's quiet tonal range, allowing the landscape to take precedence. Outside, Williams extended the home's material language with durable wood finishes, subtly carrying the interior's warmth outdoors while lending the pool area a relaxed, Mediterranean inflection."
Williams designed a hair salon inspired by Talani, honoring her 1990s modeling success and fashionable persona with a glamorous, tailored space. Black-and-white custom marble references the Chanel camellia and creates graphic elegance; glamour is conveyed through materiality rather than color, keeping the salon intentionally monochromatic. The design prioritizes uninterrupted ocean views by using low furniture and a restrained palette in the primary suite, allowing the landscape to dominate. Exterior finishes extend the interior material language with durable wood, bringing interior warmth outdoors and giving the pool area a relaxed Mediterranean character.
