At every turn in their house, the homeowners wanted unique finishes and features to catch your eye. Every room has its own sense of scale and proportion with a material palette that accentuates it and at the same time allows it to blend with the rest as one composition. This can be seen in the 25’ tall living room with its Coronado stone clad fireplace, in the round dining room with its domed painted ceiling that looks onto the feature oak tree, and in the kitchen/keeping room with its blend of art stone walls, natural wood stained cabinets and beams. To top it off, is a man cave with a unique bar area and an illuminating countertop of “Caesarstone Concetto Brown Agate” back-lit with LED lighting. From an energy savings standpoint, LED lighting is used throughout, and a solar panel system is installed on much of the south facing roof that supplements the home’s energy consumption. All in all this home exceeds the owners’ desires and expectations for their dream home.

Mid century meets Scandi

Yasmin Chopin Interior Design

A new layout for the furniture was a challenge because three rooms interlink (kitchen-diner, this room and the TV room). The main requirement was for a good ‘flow’. The couple wanted a flexible space that provided a social area for adults but that also gave the children and their friends plenty of room to play with toys on the floor and play or listen to music. A diagonal arrangement meant that the seating could be used facing into the room with the artwork as a focal point, or facing out onto the garden. With seating that could be easily moved the arrangement works on several levels. Image credit: Georgi Mabee.
