Designed for a young family with a love for travel, color, and joyful living

Designed for a young family with a love for travel, color, and joyful living, Some Like It Pop is a vibrant 10,000-square-foot vacation home that celebrates adventure and connection. Inspired by their stay at a Grace Blu-designed cottage, the home features playful yet sophisticated spaces like a retro-inspired bowling alley, a hidden speakeasy, a serene spa, and a high-performance gym.
