Gentle Grandeur banner

Set within a stone’s throw of the beach, this home combines the grandeur of tradition with the ease and flow of modernity. The home’s generous spaces and high ceilings required larger scale cabinetry solutions to maintain proportionality. A coherent theme is evident in the tailored cabinetry throughout the house, from the kitchen/scullery to multiple bathrooms, media and family rooms. A beautiful, yet highly functional home office for two was also built to cater for the after-hours work demands of the owners’ international business.
