For many years, Whitney Casey and her tech entrepreneur husband, Nav Sooch, rented a summer house in the Hamptons, which belonged to an interior designer. It had everything you could possibly need,” she recalls. Everyone would leave and say, ‘What a charming little gem.’” When the couple decided to buy their own property, their vision was clear – to create something every bit as special.

The house they discovered is a new-build in a quiet street, close to the heart of Southampton. It’s not my type of exterior because it’s so traditional,” admits Whitney. In contrast to the classical facade, she was determined to create a funky interior. To help her, she called upon young Los Angeles-based designer Jessica Ayromloo. The word that describes Jessica is ‘fresh’ – she can truly come up with novel ideas,” says Whitney. What Whitney wanted most was to avoid a stereotypical Hamptons look. She didn’t want navy or chequerboard,” recalls Jessica. We wanted things to feel interesting and different.”
