CONCEPT -
DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM THE NEARBY SHORELINE, THE DETAILS AND PALETTE ARE REFLECTIVE OF THE HUES AND PATTERNS OF THE WATER, SAND AND STONE
A CURATED SELECTION OF MATERIALS IS REPEATED THROUGHOUT THE RESIDENCE, CREATING A CALM, THOUGHTFUL AND HOLISTIC ENVIRONMENT
A FEATURE STONE ON THE FIREPLACE REFERENCES THE HUES AND MOVEMENT OF WATER, COMPLIMENTING THE OTHERWISE SANDY TONES OF THE ROOM
CUSTOM MILLWORK ANCHORS THE BEDROOM WHILE DIVIDING IT FROM THE OTHERWISE OPEN-CONCEPT ENSUITE
THE STONE FROM THE BEDROOM FIREPLACE, WITH ITS SOFT COLOURS AND MOVEMENT, IS REPEATED ON THE BESPOKE ENSUITE VANITY
A CHANGE IN THE WOOD GRAIN DIRECTION AND RECESSED BRONZE PULLS REPEAT ON ALL OF THE CUSTOM MILLWORK, CREATING A DATUM LINE THAT CARRIES THROUGHOUT THE RESIDENCE
THE ENSUITE FEATURES AN ELONGATED BESPOKE STONE VANITY, HELD SYMMETRICALLY ON EACH END BY CUSTOM BRONZE SHOWER AND TOILET ENCLOSURES
SIMPLE FORMS AND SUBTLY INTEGRATED LIGHTING ALLOW THE TACTILITY AND NATURAL MATERIALS TO TAKE CENTER STAGE
A CUSTOM WINE CELLAR ANCHORS THE MEDIA ROOM, WHICH FEATURES UPHOLSTERED WALLS, SOFT, SUBTLE LIGHTING AND CUSTOM FURNITURE WITH A FOCUS ON COMFORT
