Our goal was to blur the line between old and new, inside and outside, simplicity and complexity. The colour palette is dark, cosy and calm. It limits light reflection, diminishing strain on the eyes and elevating the expansive windows, views and natural light to centre stage. It creates seclusion where desired, such as in the more private living spaces, and feels expansive in other moments, as when the foyer opens up into the home’s dramatic cathedral ceilings.
