This project is about memory and transformation. The clients' upbringing in India and memories of the cool white Calacatta Oro floors of her grandfather's house 1960s highrise unit into an open plan that is both informal and luxurious. Marble and finely grained quartersawn maple create a simple aesthetic that runs in variations throughtout all of the rooms of this complete interior re-build. The use of waterjet cut, hand inlaid onyx lotus flowers creates an evocative entry.

Our client wanted a clean and classic Master Bath Suite. Initially, I designed 3 different options, but option 1 was a home run for the client and also my favorite based on thier wishlist. The vanity and mirror are custom made for the space with a 12 step dark stain process that allows the depth of the grain to show through. It took about 10 sample runs to get the finish just right, not too red and not too dark. We built the massive mirror to "float" off the wall so that it would visually lighten the space. The shower glass was detailed so that it appears seamless against the shower bench. We used Carerra marble throughout.

strong architectural features, black and white marble floors and iron and brass staircase railing, unexpected antique gold iron light fixture in a more traditional space, backless Karl Johan Swedish sofa with custom fabric made of linen with a large Greek Key motif in center of fabric, soft oatmeal color on custom damask wallcovering made of plaster, large scale damask with 36" repeat makes space have an updated traditional feel, antique mirrored screen hangs on wall to gently reflect more light into space, slate blue color is used as accent color, slate blue textural strie carpet on stairs, slate blue velvet tufted chair, eclectic mix of antiques and new pieces

Pink ceilings give cool greys a rosy glow and add a interesting feature when looking upwards. it further connects the master bedroom with the en suite. The marble parquet floors and walls give elegance and drama. Interior Design and Interior Styling by Victoria Tunstall Photography by Sarah Hogan
