A home owner’s fondness for walnut’s warm hue and durability led the design of the interior spaces of this three-storey renovation. The ground level, with a front-to-rear feature wall finished in brown walnut, is dressed in white-painted walls and pale floors and complemented with a kitchen island in soft grey.

A large rear opening provides picture-perfect garden views—a mosaic of pastel blues, vibrant reds and brilliant greens—and animates the interiors with sunshine. The mood is inviting and refined with warm tones and beautiful wood grains. This aura of cozy sophistication continues upstairs to the third-floor principal ensuite, which pairs walnut millwork with subtle limestone floors and walls.
