Awash in natural light, this ethereally elegant beachfront Carillon Beach home, appropriately named Halcyon Days, seems to shape-shift with moods of the sea and sky. Walls of windows and large porches facing the Gulf of Mexico allow light to dance upon the home's textured layers, soft wood tones and natural stone elements.

''The expansive view of the Gulf from every south-facing window will stop you in your tracks,'' says Jonathan Hampel, the home's designer, and Principal Architect of acclaimed A BOHEME Design. Impressive visual features include mirrors reflecting the stunning southern light and panoramic coastal views with expansive natural wood beams accenting the ceilings, enhancing the cozy, welcoming atmosphere.
