205m² house. Walls are not plasterboard, but an actual board of plaster, gallery-like and porcelain. The upstairs bathroom is clad in the same material but in black: a nice contrast to the bespoke marble bathroom elements. The black-and-white theme is also evident in the kitchen in the lightness of the surfaces, the darkness of the cabinetry and the black tapware that hovers above a butler’s sink. The dining area is framed by the flipside of the blackened wall, where there is a symphony in brass and dark-timber cabinetry, a platform for a very cool valve amp and a number of bijou objects.
