Contemporary Villa

Private Villa
The idea

Soft greys, oak and veined stone.

A calm, contemporary interior for a private villa. Oak laid in herringbone runs through the ground floor, and slatted timber columns with lit niches divide the salon without closing it off. Arched windows bring in daylight and a view of the garden.

The salon gathers low upholstered sofas around white marble tables, with a piano and a television wall in veined stone. The dining room sits under a sculpted chandelier, with navy velvet chairs and a backlit stone panel. The same palette carries into the bathroom: pale marble, oak shelving and woven baskets.

About the project

Oak, marble and daylight from the garden

The salon comes first. Its timber columns mark out separate sitting areas while letting the eye pass between them, and the arches draw daylight in from the garden side. Low sofas face the piano and the stone media wall. The dining room follows, a more formal room centred on its table, with the lit stone panel as its focus. The bathroom closes the sequence at a smaller, quieter scale.

Oak in a herringbone pattern gives the ground floor one continuous surface, adding movement underfoot without adding colour. Veined white marble appears on the salon tables, a cooler, harder touch against the upholstery. Navy velvet on the dining chairs is the darkest note in the house and makes that room feel the most enclosed. In the bathroom, oak and pale stone return, joined by the softer texture of woven baskets.
