A welcoming home filled with contrasts – classical and modern, masculine and feminine, black and white – that coexist with each other harmoniously while helping the family to bond deeply.

The living area is a picture of sophistication drawn up by intriguing juxtapositions of the old and new. A peek-a-boo framed window offers a glimpse of the outdoor garden where a classical fountain stands. The dining area is replete with upholstered classical-style dining chairs, elegant drapes and sheer curtains, while an antique-looking chandelier adds a touch of character. The modern staircase looks out to the lush surrounds through the large windows. In a nod to colonial chic, a second living and dining area is done up in black and white. It even offers a posh bar nook sporting black-stained cabinets to convey an air of regality.

This dark masculine theme continues in the all-black study room where floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and wooden flooring stained a light brown add depth. In contrast, the couple’s shared walk-in wardrobe takes on an all-white, open-plan concept. The wife has a vanity desk and mirrored island counter for jewellery, while the husband has a big wardrobe to hold clothes. The lounge area outside the master bedroom showcases numerous gold-framed family photos hung over the white console complemented by a white lounge chair. Completing this serene outlook is a bedroom painted in muted palette of whites and greys, complemented with classical furniture, mirrors and consoles.
