Artful Oasis
This home was designed to harmonize our client's passion for hospitality with modern grandeur and personal history. The result is an artful oasis that embraces contemporary elegance while paying homage to Nepalese heritage.
Color and art were a key component of our approach as we sought to balance vibrancy with traditional architectural elements. We used statement accessories and sculptures in the entryway to draw the eye inward and create a striking first impression. Specially commissioned pieces in the main living spaces echo the bold tones of the library and bar, and the hallways -gallery-like in scale- showcase curated installations that pull color and culture through the home.
Strategic use of light was designed to emphasize grandeur and provide softness. In the great room, we opted for undraped windows, relying instead on statement fixtures to draw the eye upward and punctuate the room. Chandeliers in adjacent spaces provided a daintiness against the white marble used throughout. In the dining room, drapery, handmade in Nepal, centralizes the client's story and adds layer of essential warmth and authenticity.
By blending art, light and color, we created a space that celebrates storied design and classic grandeur, inspiring us to gather often and live vibrantly.
