A gentle split level allows the rear spaces
to enjoy views over the front spaces, Pool
Terrace and Pool. The pool deck is framed
by a large Rheinzink clad buckle, which
in addition to working as a sun shading
device also adds drama to this terrace by
creating a double height external space.
The horizon pool creates a seamless
connection to the ocean beyond. ‘With
the doors opened the interior and exterior
spaces connect seamlessly giving one
the feeling of infinite space floating in
the sky,’ comments partner Greg Truen.
Bedrooms, family rooms, the gym and
cinema are located on the lower levels
and are all accessed by lift and stair
The house is on several levels. An
emotional and sensorial journey when
moving through the house was created
between the Architecture and the
Interiors. The location, the incredible
geography and astounding views provide
drama at every turn. At the same time the
interiors provide surprise as one moves
from space to space. Moods shift and
alter and emphasise the different roles
of each zone, from private and secluded
areas to generous entertainment spaces.
‘The building provides a volumetrically
dramatic and dynamic interior space on
a grand scale. The objective of the interior
décor was to create a softer and intimate
counterpoint whilst not jeopardizing the
clean, geometric lines of the architecture.
These elements can harmoniously coexist and work off each other,’ says Adam
Court of OKHA Interiors.
By utilising a broad base of textures and
finishes, the décor feels natural and subtly
organic, comfort being of paramount
importance at all times; the overall
ambiance is one of calm and serenity.
Colour is kept to a bare minimum, the
interior works predominantly with a light
and shade tonal range, allowing the
exterior views, the mountain, the ocean
and sky and also the artwork to bring
in colour.
