HARMONIOUS DESTINATIONS
The main floor includes a music room , where the client couple and their kids often spend time playing music together in a space offering more intimate and secluded external views . Internally , the traditional feel of the room ’ s heritage elements is balanced by the customdesigned , contemporary furniture and lighting pieces carefully selected by MFA & D to highlight the couple ’ s art collection . Lighting design is prominent throughout the project and is epitomized by the music room ’ s stunning Nepenthes Cordon by Christopher Boots , characterized by its solid brass tendrils and glowing hand-blown glass .
Each room is designed as a destination within a destination and the main floor office space continues that trend with its theme of old and new . Green leather upholstering connects the space to traditional heritage office design with circle pendant lighting by Roll & Hill providing a fresh and illuminating touch .
“ We approached the first floor as a sequence of rooms , a promenade of spaces with the right flow throughout the project ,” says Ms . Franco . “ However , while each room is connected , we envisioned each as a unique destination providing a distinctive look and feel .”
