ICI Homes has selected four interior designers to merchandise eight model homes as part of a more than $4 million effort on a model home park and vision center opening to the public at Tamaya, an all-inclusive, master-planned community ICI Homes is developing at Beach and Kernan boulevards in Jacksonville.

The following designers have been selected to provide Tamaya’s visitors with images of the elegant, single-family homes to be built at the unique Mediterranean-style community being built between the city and the sea in Jacksonville:

• Sisler Johnston Interior Design, Jacksonville, FL

Principal: Judith Sisler Johnston, president, allied member ASID

• Design South of Ponte Vedra, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Principal: Anne Carroll, owner/designer

• Everyday Elegance Interiors, Jacksonville, FL

Principal: Beth Lewis, ASID

• Merchandising Plus, St. Johns, FL

Principal: Rita Williams

“We’re fortunate to have contracted some of the Southeast’s top interior designers from the talented ranks of professionals right here in the Jacksonville area,” said Sherrie Williams, vice president of interior designs for ICI Homes in Jacksonville. “Not only does this allow us to work with some of the best designers around, it gives us the ability to design homes that truly suit the tastes and styles of Jacksonville-area homebuyers.”

The home building and development company will spend more than $4 million constructing eight model homes and merchandising their interiors; building a vision center to market the community; and creating a unique Mediterranean land- and park-scape to surround and complement the visitor’s experience. Construction of the homes has begun, with a model grand opening set for early May.

The first phase of the 2,400-home community on 780 acres will consist of 169 single-family homes ranging in size from 1,900 to 3,500 square feet and priced from $300,000s to the $600,000s. Buyers will choose from 16 customizable home designs in various architectural styles, including Tuscan, Mediterranean and Spanish.

The designers have been selected to provide interior design options, such as cabinets, countertops, flooring materials and wall colors.

“With this caliber of designers, I know people will be very impressed by what they see,” Williams said. “This is a must-see for prospective homebuyers and it’ll be worth a trip to Tamaya to see these chic and elegant new homes.”
