the ever-changing landscape outside. The dining area is a case in
point: velvet-upholstered dining chairs, teamed with hand-carved
timber pendant lights, create a sense of drama, against a backdrop
of deliberately neutral finishes – light oak and driftwood-toned timbers,
marble, sisal and crisp white walls. “The house has sweeping views
over a nearby valley,” says Lily. “We wanted to capture that feeling
inside by creating interior spaces that flow gracefully from one to
another and by using the same colour palette.”
The result is a very comfortable and practical family home, one
that uses traditional architectural forms in contemporary ways,
responding to 21 st-century preferences for indoor-outdoor living,
says Walter. And thanks to Lily’s deft touch on the interior, it is a
wonderfully inviting and calming place to spend time in, with
unexpected elements that excite the senses. A home the family
delights in every day. >
