The brief for the upgrade of this interwar Californian bungalow was to provide a retreat for a young family – sophisticated, liveable, relaxed. The kitchen was planned and executed to function as the heart of the family home. The client loves to cook and this laid the foundation to create a kitchen and butler’s pantry that cater to a family’s needs. An important part of the client’s brief was to have family friendly bathrooms with definitive details, custom finishes and fixtures. The beauty of the custom limestone checkerboard and cabochon floors is the subtle variation between the two types of limestone.
Designed by Phoebe Nicol, this home is about as serene and easy on the eye as it gets. It is elegant and refined yet inviting and has a sense of serenity. With all the light upholstered furniture they must have the most well behaved children on the planet
