Perfect Measure

An architecturally classic floor plan devised to facilitate easy entertaining is adorned with all manner of exquisite bespoke custom detailing. Massive unlacquered brass entry doors herald with drama within; their more delicate counterparts screen living areas while preserving sightlines and views. One-of-a-kind SHIIR rugs display unmistakably handcrafted artistry and soulfulness. A hand-carved marble fireplace is at once timeless and wholly new. All are accompanied by a thoughtfully curated collection of eclectic art.

And then there’s the kitchen. Designed in consultation with chefs at the owner’s hotel properties, the kitchen is akin to a Mondrian-inspired art piece itself, with unique brass and woven metal mesh cabinets, and a dramatically gold-veined marble island. This is a sexy kitchen for producing professionally created dining experiences – not peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Custom, indeed.

In fact, customization is the hallmark of this home. From specialized spaces such as a climate-controlled wine tasting room and an urbane cigar parlor to attention-worthy finishes and materials – including vividly patterned natural stones and leather-wrapped door hardware – breathtaking custom details abound. Bountiful juxtapositions of light and dark amplify those details, expressing the many contrasts throughout – another of the home’s decorative hallmarks, even in its most restful and private areas. 

Outdoors, the personalization continues. An expansive terrace with east, west, and north views is furnished for entertaining, cozied by a dual fireplace, and allows its owner to indulge his penchant for gardening – in yet another example of our dedication to designing beautiful spaces that fit each client’s unique lifestyle.
