This project has been a work of patience, love, and collaboration between Architect, and Interior Designer. Architect Michael Suttie was engaged to manage the architecture.The brief for the upgrade of this interwar Californian bungalow was to provide a retreat for a young family – sophisticated, liveable, relaxed.

The kitchen was planned and executed to function as the heart of the family home. The client loves to cook and this laid the foundation to create a kitchen and butler’s pantry that cater to a family’s needs. The provincial style range hood grounds the space whilst the hanging rail for pots adds charm and character to the kitchen. The custom made kitchen cabinet was uniquely aged by a restorer to house the clients Astier de Vilatte collection.

An important part of the client’s brief was to have family friendly bathrooms with definitive details, custom finishes and fixtures. The beauty of the custom limestone checkerboard and cabochon floors is the subtle variation between the two types of limestone. Polished Nickel fittings were selected as Nickel reacts with the environment to develop an aged patina for a classical  appearance.
