The Home That Was Never a Project
The Brief
Some homes begin as projects. This one began as friendship. Built for a family across three generations, it was shaped less by brief and more by years of shared dreams and conversation — the result is a house low on grand gestures and rich in warmth, texture, and intimacy.
The material palette tells its own story: sesame marble floors with natural veining, warm timber underfoot, and glass brick used throughout as a unifying thread — solid, yet luminous. A sculptural white-plastered staircase winds through the home with staggered landings, built-in lamps, and circular glass apertures that let light and sightlines travel between floors. Veneered stripes run through passages, the living room, and a personal study, chosen from a rare and finely grained material sourced through the client’s own expertise in fine veneers.
Small, deliberate details create moments of discovery — peepholes that frame a glowing light beyond, miniature portholes offering unexpected glimpses into the drawing and dining rooms. Furniture was chosen as much for comfort as form, with custom pieces and cabinetry designed in close collaboration with artisans and makers, alongside a curated collection of statement lighting and objects gathered over years of friendship and shared taste.
Color appears in careful, considered bursts — deep reds and jade in the family’s living spaces, sunlight yellow in a daughter’s room, garden greens in the master bedroom, cool aquas in a personal study. A noir powder room, a filigree chandelier, a moon-like mirror, and a paper lantern light that seems to have absorbed moonlight all speak to a home built on debate, instinct, and joy in equal measure.
Above all, this is a home defined by relationships — designed not to impress, but to hold the people, art, and memories that make it truly theirs.
A warm, textural living room anchored by a large-scale abstract artwork and a mix of sculptural furniture in amber, camel, and cream.
A dramatic sculpted ceiling fixture casts soft light across the room, echoing the same layered palette below.
A softer corner of the living room, where a giant paper lantern light hangs above plush seating framed by garden views.
Evening light warms the wood-paneled walls, with backlit art and a round mirror adding depth to the seating area.
A striking sculptural pendant hangs over the dining table, set against a textured glass brick column and a tactile black artwork.
By night, the living room glows in warm lamplight, with a backlit photograph anchoring the far wall.
A compact home office balances playful color — a stacked red sculpture and dusty blue chairs — against soft striped paneling.
Open shelving displays books and curios beside a graphic artwork, with a sculptural stool grounding the corridor threshold.
The master bedroom layers olive and mustard tones against a textured tile-effect wall, with a row of graphic framed prints above the bed.
Sculptural arched mirrors and travertine-clad walls define the master bath, opening onto a glass-enclosed rain shower.
A closer view of the dining room’s statement pendant, with sightlines through to the living room beyond.
A glazed brick wall and framed artwork line the corridor, leading toward the sunlit living spaces.
A sculptural, softly curved staircase rendered entirely in white, with playful striped pendant lights suspended overhead.
A circular cut-out in the wall frames a glimpse of the living room beyond — a quiet architectural moment of surprise.
