12 Qs I. Designer should ask you
Box off a room. Like a Russian nesting doll, you can create rooms within rooms with sliding doors or screens in paper, wood or glass. You’ll find that even though screens are impermanent, they can still feel like walls and offer the same level of privacy — just ask the Japanese. For a quick fix, rig up curtains on a ceiling track so part of the room can be sectioned off when needed.
The main bedroom also has an en suite. Statuario marble was used here as well, and the tiles are the same as those in the main bathroom, downstairs powder room and the laundry, which keeps the wet rooms consistent in design. This note is what's significant, not the pic! i.e. consistent materials in the wet rooms!
Open flow to areas but spaces still separate from one another. Hunt chose robust and durable materials with plenty of texture, but in a limited color palette for a serene feel in line with the home’s Asian-inspired style. Much of the home is open plan, which adds to the serenity. The building’s bones were designed to be the decoration, Hunt says. “As with traditional Japanese architecture and design, the construction itself is to be admired internally rather than the applied decoration,” she says. The goal was to allow the elegance and scale of the pavilions, with their uncluttered interiors and minimalist furnishings, to convey a sense of calm, a retreat from the world’s demands.
