A double-height, fully glazed wall at the garden side of the house, extends the sense of the outdoors through to the interior. The interior of the building features three sculptural elements – a block of stone forming the central kitchen unit, a perfectly formed, curved stair, and a stone shelf and fireplace wall.
Interior finishes are kept simple – painted white or fabricated in super-hard white Corian, a man-made, solid-surface material composed of marble dust, bauxite, polyester resins and pigments. All floor surfaces, including the stairs are wood, stained almost black.
The furniture pieces are sculptural, classic, fabulous: Egg chair, Cherner chair, Smoke chair, Butterfly stool, Rosy Angelis floor lamp…

More wonderful spaces, here
Almost terrifyingly beautiful this space and design 🙂
The last image somehow for me has echoes of Rene Magrittes’ painting
‘The Empire Of Lights’
i agree, austere and beautiful and really rather daunting.. you’ve just introduced me to a new artwork; have looked up the magritte and i think it’s rather fabulous (i’m a big fan of his work, but wasn’t familiar with that one). so thank you! x
🙂
Great to see iconic furniture pieces with (white) space around them to unfold into. Such a spare, clean house – living there I feel you have to always compose yourself, to fit into the picture.
yes there is a wonderful freedom of space, and the pieces are allowed to breathe. I’m not sure I could be so restrained! thanks for stopping by. J
Wow! Love the sculptural staircase…and the all the fab designer furniture of course!
I can only imagine living in such a tidy house, sigh….
i know, it’s rather museum-like (but fabulous..)
minimalist design at its best……… the concept of creating space……..
beautiful, sculptural spaces… i agree. glad you like!
