foyer, stair halls + terrace landing

step into the foyer, stair halls & terrace landing, where every detail exudes artful charm and timeless elegance. the stairwell, with venetian plaster finished walls is embellished with decorative birds, leads to a solid venetian plastered railing featuring a scalloped pattern. at the foot of the stairs, a bar cabinet beckons with its intricate paneling and a curated collection of barware, glasses, and wine bottles.

adjacent to this, a modern round stool in earth tones invites relaxation, while opposite, a whimsical teepee with an elevated, floating bottom offers a cozy retreat for lounging or reading. whether admiring the artwork atop the bar cabinet or catching a glimpse in the floor mirror, this space embodies a harmonious blend of comfort, sophistication, and laid-back individuality.

game room + bar

the game room & bar area is a vibrant space that combines modern aesthetics with functional elegance. a beautiful panoramic window floods the kitchen with natural light, enhancing the dark espresso cabinets and creating a cozy yet contemporary atmosphere. tall cabinets filled with glassware and spirits frame the kitchen counter, which features a stunning stone that matches the expansive island, showcasing a flowing pattern that adds a touch of artistry to the space.

in the game room, a modern pool table with a mustard-colored felt becomes the focal point, complemented by contemporary artwork adorning the walls.

a round table with chairs, set on a shaggy rug, invites guests to enjoy leisurely games while maintaining a stylish ambiance. the eclectic mix of decor elements brings character and liveliness to this multifunctional area, making it a favorite spot for entertaining and relaxation alike.

lower porch

the lower porch, pool deck, and rear landing offer a harmonious blend of relaxation and entertainment. stepping into this inviting space, you're greeted by a stone ping pong table, its white surface contrasting beautifully against the white brick walls adorned with drapery. the tiled floor adds a touch of practicality while maintaining a clean aesthetic.

a cozy sitting area beckons, featuring a comfortable sofa and two contemporary chairs in light fabric, all centered around a coffee table with intriguing architectural details. behind the chairs, a large console table stands elegantly, adorned with balustrade-shaped objects that add a subtle yet captivating element to the space. nearby, a versatile dining or gaming area stands ready for gatherings and leisurely moments in this charming outdoor setting.

overall, the lower porch, pool deck, and rear landing strike a perfect balance between functionality and style, creating an inviting environment for both relaxation and social activities.

terrace bedroom + bathroom

the terrace bedroom & bathroom seamlessly blend modern comfort with natural elegance. a cozy seating area in the bedroom offers a relaxed atmosphere with light brown upholstered chairs, perfect for unwinding or catching up on reading. simple yet personalized touches like a gallery wall of photos add character, while a large, natural-material light fixture illuminates the space warmly.

moving into the bathroom, a checkered floor design brings a playful touch without overwhelming, complemented by a straightforward vanity and a generously sized shower. together, these spaces create a comfortable and welcoming retreat, combining modern elements with a touch of simplicity.

Following! I really do love this house. It’s great to see all of the different styles, even though most of the designs in the house aren’t really my style. I do know that it’s an opportunity for designers to kind of go all out and do things that they don’t normally do in their own interior design projects.
