The Library - 387'7" - Reimagined as the heart of the home, this remarkable double-height library forms part of an expansive open plan living space incorporating the kitchen, dining and principal reception areas. A mezzanine gallery lined with bespoke dark wood bookshelves wraps elegantly around the upper level, creating a dramatic reading gallery that overlooks the living space below.
Custom built cabinetry spans the ground floor, thoughtfully styled with curated objects while discreetly concealing the television within the joinery. Restored floor to ceiling Crittall windows flood the room with natural light, illuminating the rich timber finishes and drawing the eye upward to the gallery above.
A striking contemporary chandelier descends through the centre of the space, emphasising the impressive ceiling height and creating a sculptural focal point, while the seating area below offers a relaxed setting within this beautifully interconnected kitchen, dining and living environment.
