Inside, the color palette is fairly neutral to keep the interior feeling calm and relaxed. The kitchen and lounge area is at the center of the living space, with a sofa in the kitchen large enough to seat the entire family.

Stepping down from the kitchen, there’s a fireplace with punched brass cladding. Next to the fireplace is the dining room that features a custom-made table by James Mudge, accentuated by the Lindsey Adelman pendant light. Black Magis chairs surround the table and are softened with sheepskins throws.
