These clients wanted a custom home built around their lifestyle and interests, and to showcase their growing collection of European art and antiques.

Working closely with the architect, we designed the house as if it had grown from ancient times, added to by generations of loving collectors. We researched and sourced European art and antique pieces to complete the home’s ‘history’.

The central core is the living space, chef’s kitchen and dining rotunda, all with lake views. The large vaulted study features an ‘inglenook’ fireplace and art gallery, and the sumptuous owners’ suite with sitting room provides a totally private retreat.

We created a split ‘guest-suite wing’ for visiting family, and a second wing contains an art studio and household office.

The owners enjoy every moment in a home designed for their comfort, surrounded by the beauty of the past.
