“We realized our old house could be the ultimate playground for our new collections,” Caitlin says. “We never do something officially until we play with the idea in our own home.” Sometimes, quite literally: A game of backgammon with friends inspired them to produce similarly patterned tiles, which they then used, in cream and teal, on the floor of their central courtyard and entry. More recently, they used the same tile pattern as a template for an exclusive Popham+ backgammon set, complete with brass game pieces. “It’s actually a natural move, as the molds of our tiles are made of brass,” Samuel says.

			“The entrance to the home is along a cascading water feature that runs the length of the stepped entry court and wraps the living room that sits elevated over the infinity edge accentuating a floating effect. One of the steps cantilevers over the water surface providing a perfect pad for a sculpture.

			Throughout the home, the palette was “very much inspired by the beach,” says Flanigan. The sandy neutrals, rich earth tones, and muted blues found in the upstairs landing are a prime example. “It was all about bringing the outdoors in and really celebrating simplicity,” says Flanigan. “We wanted to recreate the sense of calm that being by the ocean allows.”
