A classic townhouse with a modern extension. The clients, high-level executives, needed a sanctuary. They wanted something unapologetically bold that worked as hard as they do.
The back wall looks like a solid slab of X-Tone Paonazzo Biondo stone. It isn’t. We engineered colossal, five-foot-tall sliding doors clad entirely in the stone. Behind them sits shallow storage for spices and oils. The obsession is in the detail: we pattern-matched the veins across the seams so that when the doors are closed, the gold and grey lines flow uninterrupted. It’s heavy engineering disguised as art.
The island is designed as a singular, social statement. We kept the surface completely clear – no sinks, no hobs, no clutter – to allow the natural beauty of the stone to take centre stage. The functional theatre is reserved for the back wall, where a Bora Professional cooktop offers both gas and induction, set against a seamless backdrop of XTONE. To maintain these clean lines throughout, we even hid electrical sockets into the island’s front fascia. It’s a space designed for those who take cooking seriously, without ever compromising on the aesthetic.
Minimalism looks great in photos, but it requires discipline to live with. To keep the main room pristine, we built a ‘kitchen within a kitchen’ hidden behind elegant, dark fluted glass doors. This intelligent secondary space houses the sink, freezer, and the messy reality of daily life, allowing the main kitchen to remain a total sanctuary. It proves that the secret to a pristine home isn’t cleaning more; it’s having a sophisticated ‘backstage’ area to manage life behind the scenes.
Minimalism continued down the long hallway of this townhouse. Custom panelling concealed a laundry room and snug.
For these busy executives, the home needed to be more than a showpiece; it required a design that works as hard as they do. We have delivered a high-performance environment where architectural discipline meets effortless living – a space perfectly tuned to the pace of their professional lives.
