From there, it was a question of injecting character and atmosphere. “The design was guided by the concept of hedonism and comfort,” says Gryban. “It’s defined by deep, earthy tones and natural materials that lend tactility.” The palette of deep khaki green, black and taupe is enlivened with jewel-like flashes – ruby red, deep sapphire and emerald. “The brighter hues appear only as accents, often through art or custom furnishings, ensuring that the overall mood remains calm and refined,” adds the designer. With its almost-black cabinets and Art Deco-style custom glass doors, the kitchen anchors the space; large windows and a pale quartzite island ensure that it doesn’t feel gloomy. Like most of the rooms, the kitchen is drenched in Benjamin Moore’s Sage Mountain paint shade.
