A spirit of generosity filters through the home, not only with confident style ideas and design details but through casting character through a multi-focal lens.

VIRGINIA JEN, AD EUROPE and VOGUE LIVING

SEQUENCED OVER THREE LEVELS, THIS DREAM-LIKE OASIS WEAVES TANGIBLE TALES OF FARAWAY LANDS AND ANCIENT CULTURES THROUGH ECLECTIC MANIPULATIONS OF MATERIALS AND STYLES TO CONVEY CHARISMATIC REINTERPRETATIONS OF THE PAST.

A sociable Palm Springs breeze wafts throughout given fluid connections to the tropical garden and pool with its and newly built cabana and break-out lounge areas.

Grounded by hybridised Spanish Mission and Moroccan riad elements with flashes of Egyptian splendour, this casa both nurtures with sanctuary-like appeal and inspires with fictional flair.

“NOTHING MATCHES AND I LOVE THAT. COLLECTIVELY, SO MANY COMPETING ELEMENTS PROBABLY SHOULDN’T WORK. BUT WITH THE RIGHT EYE AND THE RIGHT DESIGNER, IT HAS ALL COME TOGETHER SO PERFECTLY. IT’S PLAYFUL YET COSY AND THERE IS SO MUCH SURPRISE AND DELIGHT.”
