From the street, it’s all business. But don’t be fooled — this house knows how to put on a show
Now that's structural confidence — pale hardwood, blackened steel and a staircase with swagger
Snowflake chandeliers steal the dining room show, with a strong supporting cast of windows
"Hello you," says the mirrored backsplash. "Stay awhile," says the full-sized wine fridge
Moody wood, sleek finishes and a five-seater island — this kitchen turns every meal into a live demo. No pressure, chef
Geometric tiles and a concrete slanted sink nail the hotel bathroom vibe. (The five-star kind, obviously.)
The lighting takes centre stage upstairs, backed by a feature wall that knows how to set the scene
Twin sinks, a vanity with a view, soaker tub built like a personal spa — is this a bathroom or backstage dressing room?
Time to take the party outside. There’s certainly space for it
