Envisioning guestrooms and residences as places for reflection and relaxation, Clodagh drew upon her own spa design experience to create a calm and soothing retreat high above the ocean. During the day, ambient light floods the room through floor-to-ceiling windows, while in the evening, Clodagh’s signature “love light” is emitted from the back of the headboard, casting a soft glow across the room as guests unwind.
