Del Mar-based Design Line Wins Top National Honors

Best interior design in the nation recognized at the International Builders' Show in Las Vegas.

Del Mar-based Design Line Interiors has been honored with a Gold Award for excellence in interior design at La Vita at Orchard Hills, an enclave of 72 new luxury homes built by Brookfield Residential in Irvine, Calif.

Design Line President Dawn Davidson accepted the award during the 35th annual National Sales and Marketing awards, the nation’s largest competition for sales and marketing professionals and communities, presented late last month during the International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas.

Honored in the category of Best Interior Merchandising of a Model Home from 3,001-3,500 square feet, Design Line was recognized for its work on Residence Four, a 3,942-square-foot home with four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths and an oversized two-car garage. Homes are now priced from the high $1 millions.

“In keeping with the community’s overall commitment to the beauty and values of Italian life, our merchandising reflects the sensibilities of an old Italian villa,” said Davidson, who founded the Del Mar-based firm in 1985. “The real showpiece of this plan is the Great Room, which features a two-story volume ceiling, dominated by a dramatic full stone wall and dark espresso beams. Our goal was to blend cultivated coolness and rustic warmth to create the feeling of a sophisticated Modern Farmhouse.”

Residence Four features a gourmet kitchen with adjoining prep kitchen and walk-in pantry, coffered ceilings in the first floor master bedroom, an expansive second-story retreat, and an outdoor covered living room with fireplace and intimate seating area.

Secluded and private, this gate-guarded enclave is situated on an elevated parcel of land, adjacent to a working orchard. Located at 101 Sunset Cove in Irvine, Calif., La Vita at Orchard Hills was designed by architect Ernie Gorrill of SDK Atelier.
