Warm Turkish limestone runs as a unifying thread throughout, presenting bush-hammered, carved and honed finishes to distinguish zones and reinforce a meditative continuity. The stair, climbing the full height of the residence, expands the sense of openness as light cascades along its polished walls. Embedded in the void, a bespoke Lindsey Adelman light reads as jewellery suspended in space, suggesting ornament without excess. The manipulation of scale extends into the subterranean wellness suite – where cracked limestone walls carve out a sauna and meditation area, all set against a sunken courtyard alive with ferns and vertical plantings. Here, privacy is balanced by engagement, every line of sight draws the outside in, nurturing connection in a context where it can be easily lost.
Bronze details lend subtle continuity throughout, lining bookcases, handrails and joinery, while the kitchen benchtop in Patagonia quartzite becomes a sculptural furniture piece in its own right. Interiors are curated rather than furnished, with animal-inspired bouclé chairs and a palette shaped by garden hues, a handwoven Nepalese rug grounding the living space, and furniture on the rooftop curated with colourist Paola Lenti to coalesce with evolving tones of the landscape.
