Artistic Collaboration and Cultural Resonance Art became the bridge between the house and its landscape. DKT collaborated with Studio Lawrence on a striking green gradient piece designed to pull the surrounding woodland indoors. Sculptural works from Emily Bourne and Zarefa of Studio London bring depth and texture, while Iranian artist Eisa Jabari created a bespoke piece that departs from his usual aesthetic, inspired entirely by the spirit of the Invisible House.
Layered into the design are custom rugs from La Soie, DKT’ s own rug collection, handwoven in Iran using silk and wool.“ It was important to me to bring in something of heritage,” says Annahita.“ These rugs are rooted in tradition but translated for a space that feels futuristic. It’ s old-world craftsmanship meeting modern design.”
The Kitchen: Stainless Steel Meets Warmth One of the most surprising transformations is the kitchen. Previously stark and uninviting, it is now a study in balance. Stainless steel cabinetry is paired with warm, veined stone, while slimline wine racks flank the cooking area like sculptural columns. Custom lighting softens the edges, turning what was once a clinical space into a room with soul.“ It’ s a place to gather now,” Dhil says.“ It’ s still architectural, but it has life.”
Bathrooms: Tranquillity by Design In the bathrooms, serenity reigns. Curved microcement walls, softly backlit mirrors, and monolithic stone basins create a quiet, retreat-like atmosphere. Glass brick partitions diffuse light while maintaining privacy, adding a subtle texture that keeps the minimalism warm rather than sterile.“ These rooms were designed as exhale spaces,” Annahita explains.“ They’ re restrained, but in that restraint, you find calm.”
Dressing Rooms and Personal Spaces Beyond the shared areas, DKT crafted deeply personal spaces, including a dressing room that feels more like a gallery than a closet. Sleek, illuminated shelving showcases an extraordinary collection of sneakers and luxury accessories, while warm timber, smoked glass, and precision lighting elevate it from storage to statement.“ It’ s about ritual,” says Dhil.“ Even the most private spaces deserve beauty.”
Lessons in Ambition The project was not without its challenges.“ We discovered there was no insulation in the walls,” says Dhil.“ It was almost like bone
