The heart of the home is the open kitchen, featuring warm oak cabinetry with a natural finish, a Taj Mahal quartzite countertop, and refined bronze details in the hood and handles. A custom-built bench creates a reading nook for the children, tucked under the window with a view of the garden. From here, the eye flows effortlessly through the large glass openings, directly toward the water.

Throughout the house, traditional details like mouldings, high ceilings, wall paneling, evoke the feel of a Parisian townhouse. But glamour was never the goal: the clients asked for calm, not opulence. Instead, materials do the talking. Soft wood tones, bronze-painted finishes, and neutral ceramics define a home that’s refined yet understated. In the dining room, their own furniture and statement chandelier bring in a more personal, eclectic touch. Art rails run across the walls to host their evolving collection, a nod to the house as a lived-in gallery.
