Double-height living room with curved staircase, gilded wrought-iron railing, cream sofa, sage armchairs and grand piano

How the concept organises the house

The curved staircase is the centre of the house. It rises through the double-height living room into an upper gallery under a round ceiling opening, so the two floors read as one space. Every room around it shares beige marble, ivory joinery and white mouldings.

Colour changes from room to room while the details stay the same: sage and gold in the living room, blue-grey in the kitchen and dining area, mauve and blush in the master bedroom, blush and sage in the children's room. Ceiling coves and wall frames are drawn and dimensioned for each room.

Entrance hall

The entrance opens on polished beige marble and a built-in ivory unit with a mirrored niche and drawers. An arched opening frames the first view of the living room and the staircase.

Ground-floor bathroom

Wood-look floor tiles, a walnut floating vanity and a frameless walk-in shower keep the ground-floor bathroom simple and warm.

Upper hall and gallery

The upper hall wraps around the stair void under a round ceiling opening with cove lighting. Taupe walls with damask insets in white mouldings continue the language of the living room.
