These subtle, practical design choices ensured the home could comfortably support daily family life without sacrificing visual impact.
Sustainability was also woven into the project, with an emphasis on natural materials and ethical sourcing. One standout detail is the rug in the master bedroom, which is crafted from recycled fishing nets- proof that sustainable choices can still deliver on comfort and luxury.
CHALLENGES
One of the main challenges of this project was coordinating a wide range of stakeholders- including architects, contractors, trades, and suppliers- while ensuring the original design intent remained consistent from start to finish. Clear communication and close collaboration were essential to keep everyone aligned and working toward the same vision.
As with any residential project, there’ s also the deeply personal nature of creating a home. Clients are emotionally invested in the outcome, and understandably so- it’ s where they live their lives. That can add pressure, but it’ s also what makes the process so rewarding. When everything comes together and we deliver a home that truly reflects the client’ s personality and needs, it’ s incredibly fulfilling.
THE OUTCOME
The finished home was delivered on time and within budget- an achievement in itself when working with multiple moving parts. Most importantly, the client was thrilled with the result. The house is now a calm, stylish, and practical space tailored to their daily lives. It also has the flexibility to grow and evolve over time, especially as the family’ s art collection expands. The interiors were designed with this in mind: a timeless backdrop that can accommodate new pieces and personal touches as they emerge. The project has created a home that not only functions beautifully but continues to inspire and reflect the people who live in it. kartedesign. com
