Tuscan aesthetic and indoor-outdoor connections

Designed by architect Louis Chiodo about 10 years ago, this house was built by another family. Our client snapped it up in 2019. Our client engaged us to deliver an entirely new scheme that included swathes of custom furniture to make the most of the generous floor plan and soaring ceilings.

To fill the height we sourced dramatic decorative lighting which graces the entrance foyer. This 4 bedroom home has become an entertaining magnet for hosting family events. Wedded to the gardens, there’s a resort-like feel complete with a tennis court, professional poker table, basketball court and gym. With the pool deck and cabana, there’s no need to go on vacation. It’s all right here.

The timely project coincided with our Creative Director and founder Penny del Castillo’s seasonal visit to the trade show in Paris where she was exposed to suppliers and artisans from around the world. We made changes with beautiful furniture and decoration while still retaining its original features and keeping its soul intact.
