FOUR BEDROOMS, TWO GENEROUS DRESSING ROOMS, A STUDY AND DIRECT ROOFTOP ACCESS ARE ORGANISED AROUND A LARGE CENTRAL LIVING SPACE

The central living space anchors the plan, with the bedrooms, dressing rooms and study forming a quieter, private zone around it. A planted element links the living room and the study through greenery. Considered storage reflects the owners’ daily life, and the sculptural staircase leads directly to the rooftop.

KITCHEN ISLAND

THE TRAVERTINE MONOLITH

The long island is the principal element of the kitchen, a piece of architecture in its own right. Shaped in white travertine to read as a single block, it has a rounded end, a fluted curved base and an integrated basin carved directly into the same block of stone. Behind it, closed timber fronts form a continuous backdrop, and their rounded edges emphasise the shape of the island. Floor-to-ceiling glazing sets the stone against the trees, with natural light drawing out its veining and the depth of the fluted surface.

THE PLAN WAS RESOLVED AROUND THE OWNERS’ DAILY LIFE, FROM ROOM RELATIONSHIPS TO WARDROBE WIDTHS MEASURED TO THE MILLIMETRE

Planning began with detailed conversations about how the owners live. Room relationships were resolved together with wardrobe capacity, shelf dimensions and the position of each piece of equipment. Storage received the closest study: the two dressing rooms, bedroom wardrobes and built-in elements are sized to specific quantities and dimensions, giving each function exactly the space it needs. Furniture positions, circulation widths, technical systems and custom joinery were coordinated as one, so the architecture responds directly to its residents.

STONE, WALNUT & AMBER

LAYERED PALETTE

The palette is richly layered, combining surfaces of different density, texture and visual weight. Travertine appears in several expressions, from cross-cut slabs to highly porous stone with a deep, open texture. Limestone adds a quieter mineral layer, while deep-toned walnut brings warmth and depth to joinery, furniture and built-in elements. Colour enters through amber: a deep, warm hue that recurs across furniture, art and details, forming a recognisable thread through the penthouse and heightening the dialogue between pale stone and dark timber.
