Influences of Eastern and European cultures are evident in this large residence that we crafted for our well-traveled client. We warmed up this expansive volume by selecting a toned French limestone floor and rich walnut architectural elements. Southeast Asian gates, a bust of Shiva and a carved Asian center table intermingle with a fine art collection that includes portraiture by Matisse, Toulouse Lautrec, Vik Muniz and Candida Hofer, creating a dynamic series of juxtapositions and cultural references. Winner of the ICAA Acanthus Award for Excellence in Interior Design.

The winding stair with boxed treads features two types of custom-turned balustrades and creates a sculptural focal point within the residence.
