Located in the heart of the Memorial neighbourhood, this
Somerland Way house features a contemporary, yet welcoming
ambience to it. The residence has a total of five bedrooms and, as
soon as you look at its exteriors, one is immediately drawn to its
massive steel pivot door seen at the helm.
According to Talbot Cooley Interiors, the inspiration behind the
project was simple. The client wanted a neutral colour palette to
be used throughout the entire house, so she would be able to give
the spotlight to her art collection. Warm whites and slate greys
contrast perfectly with the clean lines of the house, while pops
of colour can be found in the works of art and home accessories.
Nevertheless, white was the most predominant shade in the
house, especially in divisions such as the dining room, where Fine
Paints of Europe Lacquer were used to dress the walls.
A slate blue marble slab was selected for the waterfall kitchen
island, which is also complemented by wood floating shelves and
flush slab front cabinets.
The back of the house is lined up by floor to ceiling windows
which provide plenty of natural light, as well as sweeping views
of the outdoor living area, pool and garden, thus creating a deep
connection between indoors and outdoors.
The living room is undoubtedly the main area of this glamorous
home. 14’ ceilings, a floor to ceiling concrete fireplace and a
quartzite bar with a custom-made iron floating shelf are some of
the most impressive design features seen in this area. In addition,
a floating staircase with glass leads the way to the second floor
and overlooks this main living area.
