The home office area was meant to be a refuge and the place where our client would spend a lot of time both working and relaxing. It needed to be bright and airy, modern, but comfortable. We used neutral grey paint on the walls, bold chevron curtains, and bespoke whitewash wood floors. The orange and bronze accents throughout were brought in in order to contrast against the black, white and grey main elements of the space. Two modern end tables on either side of the sofa with Zebra wood tops, also offer a touch of warmth and contrast.

A view from the sleeping space into the living area, where Ligne Roset sofas sit on an IKEA carpet under a vintage Lightolier chandelier. A custom curtain rod bends onto the adjacent wall so that the drapery does not obscure any of the window. "There is strong light and shadows in the apartment," Antonio says.

The Tanpopo House's family tearoom is an updated take on Japan’s traditional flexible, open-plan tatami-mat room. Here, the charcoal fire pit for the teapot is an electric coil embedded in the floor, and the flooring is a durable rattan from Indonesia. Plaster oozing in between oak planks gives the room a warm, rough-hewn feel—a Fujimori signature.
