This city-fringe villa was artfully updated to fit the owners’ busy lifestyle with children and a passion for entertaining. Working closely with the client in designing the entertainers’ kitchen complete with hidden scullery and under-floor cellar ensured we met brief. Creating a harmony in contrast was the aesthetic design goal for the project. Crisp white walls provide the ideal backdrop for the layering textures of stone, marble, natural linens and oiled timbers. Modern iconic furniture, fittings and bespoke built-in feature cabinetry sit comfortably amongst the villa's original features.

"This home is enduring with timeless appeal."
