The interior design of this European-inspired villa was integral in achieving the client's brief for a modern residence that combined the character detailing, warmth and elegance of traditional Italian villas. There is extensive custom cabinetry incorporated into the interior spaces, maximizing storage and creating surface depth and visual interest through simple paneling and arrangement of materials. Craig Steere Architects worked closely with specialist trades and suppliers to obtain the high quality and unique finishes, including limewashed walls, travertine floors, polished plaster feature walls, soft furnishings and stained timber floors. Cabinetmakers were also important in achieving the customized storage solutions throughout, whilst audio-visual consultants provided invaluable advice throughout the design of integrated technological systems. Craig Steere Architects also assisted the clients in sourcing custom-designed fittings and fixtures for use throughout, including distinctive wrought-iron chandeliers imported from Italy and the handcrafted timber fireplace surround that is a focus of the living room.
