Soft Focus
Westmere
This interiors-only renovation explores how thoughtful architecture can transform daily life without changing a home’s outward form. By listening closely to how the homeowners live, the interior has been reworked from a disconnected layout into a calm, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space designed for ease, connection, and lingering.
Existing high ceilings are celebrated and gently amplified with oak screens that introduce rhythm, warmth, and subtle moments of separation. A crisp white kitchen is paired with oak and Atlantic stone, while Japanese tiles and textured finishes add depth and tactility. Softness arrives through window seats, cushions, and a lush rosewood-toned rug, creating places to settle in and stay awhile.
The result is a quietly expressive interior. Robust yet warm, considered but never precious. A home that rewards staying a little longer.
