Clients who enlisted my services two years ago found a home they loved, but wanted to make sure that the newly acquired furniture would fit the space. They called on K Two Designs to work in the existing furniture as well as add new pieces. The whole house was given a fresh coat of white paint, and draperies and rugs were added to warm and soften the spaces.

From the very first site visit the vision has been to capture the magnificent view and find ways to frame, surprise and combine it with movement through the building. This has been achieved in a Picturesque way by tantalising and choreographing the viewer’s experience. The public-facing facade is muted with simple rendered panels, large overhanging roofs and a single point of entry, taking inspiration from Katsura Palace in Kyoto, Japan. Upon entering the cavernous and womb-like space the eye is drawn to a framed view of the Indian Ocean while the stair draws one down into the main house. Below, the panoramic vista opens up, book-ended by granitic cliffs, capped with lush tropical forests. At the lower living level, the boundary between interior and veranda blur and the infinity pool seemingly flows into the ocean. Behind the stair, half a level up, the private sleeping quarters are concealed from view. Upstairs at entrance level, is a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom, laundry, storage room and double garage. In addition, the family play-room on this level enjoys superb views in all directions towards the ocean and back into the house via an internal window. In contrast, the annex is on one level, though it retains all the charm and rigour of its bigger sibling. Internally, the colour and material scheme is minimalist with painted concrete and render forming the backdrop to the occasional, understated touches of steel, timber panelling and terrazzo. Externally, the facade starts as a rusticated rougher render base, becoming refined as it ascends the building. The composition of aluminium windows gives an overall impression of elegance, proportion and beauty. Both internally and externally, the structure is exposed and celebrated.

This home’s color palette continues in this sitting room, with an aqua pearlescent metallic trim setting the tone for its bright feel. Featuring metallic silver columns, an Oushak rug, ipe hardwood flooring, a pulley style ceiling fan and woven wood blinds, the room incorporates gentle pops of turquoise throughout. At the room’s heart is its mirrored cocktail table, mid-century chairs and sofa upholstered in aqua blue. The final detail is a vintage silver metallic fish accessory.

Ristrutturazione completa Ampia villa in città, all'interno di un contesto storico unico. Spazi ampi e moderni suddivisi su due piani. L'intervento è stato un importante restauro dell'edificio ma è anche caratterizzato da scelte che hanno permesso di far convivere storico e moderno in spazi ricercati e raffinati. Sala svago e tv. Sono presenti tappeti ed è evidente il camino passante tra questa stanza ed il salone principale. Evidenti le volte a crociera che connotano il locale che antecedentemente era adibito a stalla. Le murature in mattoni a vista sono stati accuratamente ristrutturati

Scope: Stretch Ceiling – Beige Lacquer The challenge that faced the designer working on this project was that the client wanted ceiling lighting but didn’t want to lower the 8’-6” concrete ceiling. By using HTC stretch ceiling system the interior designer was able to install multiple recessed lights to the existing ceiling, which we then covered with an HTC-Lacquer finish. Because we had to install the stretch ceiling on a perimeter frame lower than the existing ceiling, a cove was created all around the room which was used as a drapery pocket and to wash the walls with a soft light at night creating a warm atmosphere. The ceiling was lowered by 5” but the reflection of the stretch ceiling gave the illusion of a 13’ ceiling with a beige color blending beautifully with the décor.

This rambling Wrightian villa embraces the landscape, creating intimate courtyards, and masking the apparent size of the structure, which is about 6,000 square feet. The home serves as a vessel for its owners collection of significant modern art.
