The open plan living and dining areas of this villa with a view are anchored by a central fireplace and statement furniture and design elements: a pair of 1950s Danish teak chairs, an antique chest of drawers, Tom Dixon lighting, and a Jesse library backed by wallpaper picturing a Renaissance tapestry print. With all this visual impact in the sitting area, it is only fitting that the kitchen, done in a rich American walnut, should pack a design punch to match. Transparent glass doors divide the spaces, but importantly retain the sense of openness and light.
