Inspired Modern Living
We called this property "The Sting" because of its daring exploration of contrast and
harmony where modern luxury meets a touch of rebellion — yet masterfully balanced
with timeless elegance. Throughout the home, traditional shapes are reimagined with
contemporary finishes, including the formal living room that's inspired by a 17th-century
conservatory.
Like the living room, the open kitchen and dining area is white and bright, flooded with
natural light yet also punctuated by the pop of color from vibrant artwork. Plush seating,
sleek brass accents, and the glint of pendant lights that hover above the expansive island
create welcoming space for both family gatherings and lively entertaining.
Another distinct space in the home is the sultry, dark-toned speakeasy lounge, which
evokes intimacy and mystery. Cloaked in shades of charcoal, this space is a sultry enclave
where the gleam of metallic, reflective surfaces and custom art add sophistication. Each
piece of furniture, though bold in isolation, comes together in a tapestry of textures,
colors, and forms that are as inviting as they are striking.

element to resonate with those
who dare to live vividly, surrounded
by beauty that's as unique as
it is exquisite."
