“I am drawn to mid-century European furniture and designer

Hans Wegner is a personal favourite. I love my Papa Bear

chair, which envelops me when I sit down. I also have a pair of

Circle Chairs by Hans Wegner (pictured) that adds a pleasing

decorative layer to the sitting area. Their open structure

is great because they don’t obstruct the magnificent views

of the mountains.” >

INTO THE WOODS

“I wanted the house to

be understated and

restrained, but also cosy,

so we kept the lines clean

and used a warm palette.

We added recycled-cypress

cladding to the ceilings for

textural interest and to make

the house feel warmer and

more inviting. I wanted to

bring lots of timber into the

interior, so we also chose

wire-brushed white oak for

the doors of the kitchen

cabinets and the vanity unit

in the main bathroom.”

VIEW FINDER

“The house had just been

built by a local architect and

was in excellent condition

when we found it. We

liked the flow of spaces and

the layout, especially the

open-plan ground floor,

which is all focused on the

view. I had help from

architect and designer Daniel

Romualdez, a good friend.

He has great taste and

sensibility. I really admire the

way he mixes new and

vintage pieces.”
