The interior framework is defined by a monochrome palette of black and white, a deliberate choice reflecting the owners’ affinity for a New York-inspired aesthetic. The restraint of this scheme provides a neutral canvas that heightens contrast and clarity. Within this disciplined backdrop, curated insertions, a vivid artwork, a sculptural luminaire, or artefacts collected during their travels become focal points, infusing the home with personality while maintaining its contemporary edge.

The architectural resolution of the house is shaped around a coherent grid system that governs the design of its elevations and fenestration. The entrance is articulated by a 15-foot-high door, extended with a 5-foot fixed panel, finished in black-stained ash wood and camouflaged within the façade through a precise grid alignment. This proportional logic extends to the fenestration: expansive 20-foot slide-and-fold windows open entire sections of the house to the landscape, while circular columns are strategically positioned to frame and enhance the corner glazing. Side sliders are incorporated for cross-ventilation, reinforcing the balance between openness and enclosure. The grid is further reiterated in the gate design, ensuring continuity in proportion and visual rhythm. Though the gate provides a clear physical boundary, its porous construction preserves transparency, allowing the architecture to remain visually seamless and connected.

The experience begins in the double-height foyer, where a linear flight of staircase clad in oak veneer and marble anchors the volume. Its sculptural presence is heightened by a composition of black Nura totems from Escape, turning the staircase into more than a functional connector. A circular window punctuates the verticality here, framing views of the terrace and sky beyond. This interplay of the circular with the linear was a deliberate gesture, adding rhythm and contrast to the otherwise orthogonal volume.
