The Tastemaker’s Cottage
Exuding timeless European charm, this home draws inspiration from the rustic elegance of Belgian and Cotswold farmhouses, marrying them with the lush serenity of Provençal French landscaping. Its exterior speaks a language of understated sophistication, where elegance blends seamlessly with informality. Stone parapet gables strengthen the facade, while the soft curves of the loggia evoke a sense of timeless beauty. Designed to feel pieced together over generations, the private spaces of the home are located on the cozier right wing, while the left features the more public entertainment areas with soaring ceilings and a contrasting brick exterior. Here, the past meets the present, creating a sanctuary that feels both gracious and effortlessly lived in, a true testament to the art of creating a home.
The interiors are an experiment in style: a series of rooms, each designed as their own work of art, yet each harmoniously woven into the next. Every piece has been thoughtfully curated to create a cohesive narrative full of juxtaposing playfulness, and an overall design that enhances the living experience. Though grand in scale, the home exudes a warmth and intimacy that makes it feel entirely human, alive with character. It is a space meant to grow with the family that inhabits it; eager to be a part of the lives that unfold within its walls. This is not merely a house; it is a home that wishes to belong, offering itself as a joyous and vibrant companion to its inhabitants.
The primary bedroom features a design inspired by a sunken ship. Everything feels as though it has fallen into place, floating off the walls and plopped into the center of the room. An assortment of treasures create a unique curation of objects and romantic feeling.
