The dining space at the recently completed Chandler Residence is a harmonious blend of heritage and contemporary design. Dark tones are thoughtfully incorporated to resonate with the natural landscape and complement the property’s external dark-faced features, establishing a seamless connection between the interiors and its surroundings.
To introduce softness and subtle colour, a curated finishes palette was developed, featuring hand-blown glass, hand-tipped leather and black stained ash.
Each material was hand-selected to craft a cohesive and intentional space that exudes both warmth and sophistication. The result? A sanctuary that balances the rich heritage of the home with a modern sensibility, offering a dining experience that is both timeless and contemporary.
