A classic new build nestled in the foothills of Black Mountain, the Chesire Village Project was aimed to provide a fresh transitional surrounding to embrace the homeowners acquired antiques and fine art. The intimate footprint of the retreat, offering 360 degree views of all key living spaces, called for the sensitive color balancing of design elements. This open floor plan demanded connectivity of rug, drapery and art elements with distinguishable character created to separate each space by function. Vertical height intentionally exaggerated within the upper levels loft with Harlequin’s Demeter Stripe wallcovering and again mimicked in the grand oversized center ottoman with Travers Andulaca’s Velvet. Glorious Cowtan & Tout, Schumacher and Lee Jofa fabrics spill to the floor in drapery, while Zoffany and Pierre Frey’s velvets warm the homes upholstery. The homeowners collections of Asian paste porcelains in reds and greens provided the initial inspiration for Lord Thornbill to artfully anchor the dining room.

Glass and crystal were consistently repeated in both lighting and decorative Blenko vases to provide solid pavers for mood and tone throughout the home. Master Bedroom initiatives play to Asian whites in Alabaster, coral, shell and embroideries that sensually bring calm to days end.
