Warm grey is our perfect solution for this couple’s contrasting color preferences. Between cosy beige and modern grey, this highly elegant color modernises an otherwise classical décor, and beautifully complements the stained woods, soft gold, and white furnishings on the first storey. This 8,000 square feet house is anchored by a double-volume living hall with an adjacent billiards room and a conference room. Across the foyer, two spacious kitchens and a perfectly polished dining space offer a veritable postcard of fine living. The master bedroom upstairs is a serene retreat with a handsome library, expansive walk-in-closet, and an even bigger bathroom. Their three children enjoy their own en-suite within a modern design.

Externally, the house is reminiscent of a colonial blackand- white bungalow that enjoys enviable lush landscape on all sides. This we took to heart when re-planning all windows, carefully framing these lovely views while letting in more natural light.
