GROUND LEVEL:
The main hallway is a top lit, double height gallery. Daylight streams into the hallway and alters the feel of the space as the sun moves through the sky.
The Gallery and the rest of the house, have been designed to blur the boundaries between inside and outside to provide an expansive living experience.
To the right of the Gallery are cooling courtyards set into the hillside and additional accommodation including the gurst cottage. To the left are all the prime living spaces .These spaces ,which all share magnificent views of the mountains, form a series of open plan ,inter-connecting rooms - the salon, the dining bridge, the winter sitting room and the kitchen.
The salon is a large double height space with 6m high windows bringing the stunning mountain views right into the room. The windows disappear into the walls, revealing a terrace and infinity pool. The ceiling is a parabola of timber. The main seating area is arranged around a large fireplace which makes the salon a comfortable space.
The winter sitting room is a smaller single height space leading off the salon. It is ideal for reading and contemplation.
The Dining Bridge is a glass floored dining space sitting over a man-made stream. Glass sides slide back into the walls so that diners can enjoy the open air under the shade of the copper roof. The dining bridge connects the seating areas to the kitchen.
Out of sight of the living spaces ,the kitchen is an elegant but functional room, focused around a large central island cum breakfast bar.
