ARTISTIC FLOURISHES
On one of the walls in this main living area, Coutas crafted a relief of olive trees from a combination of plaster and marble powder. “This relief was developed from an idea that came to me when I collaborated with a sculptor friend three years ago; I thought it would be excellent for this project,” she says. Coutas also included a table by Ado Chale and a custommade marble fireplace within this space.
In the lounge area, a custom rug by JD Staron and a sofa by Flexform were used to create a calming space for reading, relaxing or chatting with friends. The designer fitted the kitchen and dining area with Fior di Bosco marble flooring and luxurious Calacatta Oro Borghini marble countertops, and included a round Chahan Minassian travertine marble table with bronze legs.
In the master suite, a neutral colour scheme enables the warm tones of the marble and sculptures to shine. The master bathroom is fitted in onyx, white marble and selenite, which work together to fill the space with textural sumptuousness. The children’s bedroom is adorned with chic yet playful furniture to create a calm and welcoming environment.
“The overall mood created with this space is one of serenity, elegance, and comfort,” says Coutas. “I believe that a house full of art should not just be about displaying the art, but it should also feel good when you’re sitting down to enjoy it.”
