Beyond the entryway a simple hallway unfolds, decorated in gallery white and pinewood, which is seen throughout the rest of the home.

Open plan living area

At the center of the house the architects have designed an atrium where natural illumination floods an open living area that is furnished in neutral tones and limited decorative accessories. The lounge and dining zones are overlooked by a large mezzanine landing to capitalize on the generous height of the dual level room.
