The primary suite is conceived as a retreat, with an extensive dressing space, bathrooms, a Jacuzzi and a sauna. The palette is deliberately muted, bringing calm to the volume of the rooms, while art, lighting and sculptural pieces introduce character and moments of colour. Glass, mirrors and the white Thassos floor in the main living area are anchored by generous, oversized sofas set against a palette of deep blue, rust, gold, pink and ochre.
The large expanses of glazing make that relationship between the interior and the city particularly strong. “There is a calmness to the larger pieces, particularly the large sofas in soft neutral fabrics, but then you have these more expressive interventions through art, lighting, rugs and objects,” the interior designer shares.
