Purposeful Luxury Redefined

The Headlands House

Summer’s palette of choice, invariably neutral, is carefully chosen to evoke a connection with nature, enhancing the timeless appeal of her designs. She believes Mother Nature is the greatest artist.

A contemporary beachfront home beckons south of San Diego in Dana Point, California. The interior design, led by Summer Jensen of Hawk & Co, redefines luxury on another level. While “luxury” indicates tasteful design and beautiful things, Jensen and her team prove it can also mean intentional, thoughtful, and sustainable design choices. Organic materials and clean lines reflect the surrounding seascape; a swim-in-place lap pool, automated sliding glass doors, and cutting-edge audiovisual technology bring a touch of modernism.

Jensen knows exceptional homes are made through devotion to detail. Drawing inspiration from biophilic design, she carefully chose colors to mirror those of the beach and headlands, while the landscape pebbles were hand-selected to match the local stone. She even consulted a feng shui master to ensure optimized energy flow within the home; the master’s suggestions inspired smoked mirrors and luminescent chandeliers to retain positive energy. Leading with purpose, humility, and luxurious minimalism, Jensen demonstrates that luxury and sustainability form a powerful synergy when approached with a meticulous eye for design.
