When you think of San Diego, sunshine and surfing may come to mind, but in the middle of sandy beaches and relaxed vibes is the lively Little Italy neighborhood. Quaint pizzerias, upscale boutiques and outdoor markets reminiscent of Venice fill the streets. It’s in this hip neighborhood you’ll find Vici Luxury Rentals, a modern, thoughtfully designed residential and retail development. The property was built with the idea that it’s more than a residence, it’s a place where you can experience European-style living with personal concierge services, private garden terraces, sky-deck dining and a cocktail lounge, not to mention an open-air rooftop pet spa with dog park.
In preparation of its opening, the developers at H.G. Fenton Company wanted to design a model unit reflective of Vici’s modern and comfortable European lifestyle and turned to Cantoni to transform the space. “When looking for a strategic partner to deliver a lifestyle experience to Vici residents, we immediately thought of Cantoni,” shares Carroll Whaler, H.G. Fenton executive vice president of residential asset management. “Cantoni offers thoughtful, yet provocative curated furnishings that are works of art and statement pieces.”
Cantoni designer Sarah Buehlman oversaw the selection of furnishings, art and accessories. To find inspiration she only had to take a few steps outside. “Upon first visiting Vici, I was immediately inspired by the energy of the Little Italy neighborhood and the model home’s beautiful ocean views,” Sarah says. “There is this bright blue and teal-painted building, which also caught my eye and ultimately inspired me to use pops of cerulean blues and deep shades of green throughout the interiors to draw the outside in.”
