For a unique space like this, it should come as no surprise that many of the furnishings are bespoke.

Many of the pieces are sparse, which serves to emphasize the stunning architectural spaces. Materials such as off-shutter concrete, Rheinzink roofing, timber cladding, and stone were specifically chosen for the way in which they will be able to age gracefully and fade into the landscape as the house stands for many years. 10 |
