The rooms are well proportioned, it's open, bright and inviting. I especially like the fact that it's a lot smaller than allowed. Do we witness a new modesty after all? I like it.

The interior color pallette is nice. @Mycroft - anything can be done with $$$$$$$$$. Those crazy designs you see in magazines are very difficult and costly to build. I can appreciate their approach on this. Simple, elegant, understated. Love the work here. The interior color pallette is nice.
