Jerusalem stone flooring extends from the main entrance through most of the internal and external spaces giving way to fumed oak floors in the living and dining areas, as well as American cedar for the doors and pergolas and Ipe for the pool decking.

The dining room offers a superb synthesis of this design philosophy with an impressive solid French oak table, surrounded by sculptural, leather-upholstered Phillips chairs. Also, the leather comes in an elegant shade of beige.

Besides, clusters of directional spotlights were selected to add ambience and subtly highlight architectural nuances
