Joinery for selected rooms — bedrooms, bathrooms, a dresser, a double-height study and an outdoor kitchen — held to one quiet language of pale timber, stone and black framing.

Narrative

Joinery runs through the selected rooms. Rather than designing each piece in isolation, one material language — light oak, white stone, black-framed glazing and concealed light — is carried from the master bedroom and bathroom through to the study and outdoor kitchen.

The study is the centrepiece: double-height glazing on two sides, with a black marble media wall and dark timber shelving set against the light.

Key decisions

  • A black marble media wall anchoring the double-height study
  • Pale oak and white stone repeated across bedrooms and bathrooms
  • Black-framed glazed cases for display and dressing
  • Concealed linear light in shelving and under vanities
