The kitchen countertop, eating desk, and toilet self-importance prime characteristic marble, whereas a putting stone basin is the centrepiece of the lavatory.
“I used to run health retreats in Bali and Thailand, and I love that indoor and outdoor living. I wanted the bathroom to have that feel with the half-rock sink,” she says.
The inside is styled with a fusion of the outdated and the brand new, with a deal with pure supplies and heat earthy tones. The front room, adorned with vegetation, encompasses a Blu Peter couch.
