The kitchen opens out into the dining room and living area, and features an island countertop from Caesarstone. The lighting throughout is from Liteline.

“The upper floor is completely open, and it’s supposed to feel like you’re in a big, really nice tent,” says architect Tom Knezic. “It does feel that way when you have all these windows on the south, and the sliding doors on either end of the hall open. You get the breeze through the space, and feel like you’re outside.”

“I have been carting this light around in a box for 10 years...it finally has a home!” says Madeleine of the Jorn Utzon ceiling light in the upstairs powder room.

The sitting room, located at the rear of the home, features a custom timber coffee table by the architects, an Escea fireplace, a Little Petra armchair by Viggo Boesen for &Tradition, and a Sanders Air sofa from Voyager.

Large-scale sliding doors divide the active zones at the front of the home from the quiet zones in the rear.

Concrete pavers and massive sliding glass doors extend the sitting room at the back of the home to the rear garden.

Surrounded by Eveneer white oak paneling, the light-filled living room is furnished with a Poltrona Frau John-John sofa from Cult, Knoll Tulip coffee tables, a Sisal rug from Armadillo & Co, and a pair of 60-year anniversary-edition PK22 lounge chairs from Cult.

Massive glazed sliding doors open up the living space to an outdoor concrete patio that overlooks the street at the front of the room.

“In the afternoon, the west-facing kitchen window is like a painting with red and orange sunsets,” says Madeleine.

The top living floor was completely renovated with huge windows that flood the interior with sunlight, and timber beams that span the entire width of the house.

The home was inspired by Japanese and Hawaiian architecture, and it features a trove of original details, including the stone fireplace and oak flooring in the living room. Clerestory windows top the sliding doors which lead to a large, covered patio.

Natural light and materiality were celebrated in the design, from the warm timber surfaces to the pigmented polished plaster walls and micro-cement floors that help reflect light.

DCW Editions' Les Acrobates lights that hang above the dining table contribute to the design's warm, industrial feel.

Yellow Cloud Studio designed the dining table that was built by Stuart Indge Ltd. The midcentury chairs are by Arne Hovmand Olsen, made by Mogens Kold.

The elegant kitchen cabinetry was built with oil-treated oak on a birch interior structure. The backsplash is Confiserie Blush Chevron Mosaic by Claybrook, and the wall lights are Brass Cylinder Lamps by Dyke and Dean.

Built by Stuart Indge, the sun-soaked oak veneer daybed and window seat features built-in storage underneath.
