Once in a blue moon, when the heart meets with a striving desire for historical veracity, a passionate team of designers, equipped with a world-wide knowledge of style and design sensibility, rises to the challenge not just to restore a house but to find its soul. The team recognized the hidden potential of the 1975’s striking Postmodernist Design, and entirely re-thought the house, from top to bottom, inside and outside. And did it so naturally that it seems that the house was always this way. Thoroughly remodeled, with the addition of skylights, new floors, new windows, new pool equipment, new ironwork throughout, and much more, the home is finally the way it was intended. The sophisticated design combines sleek aesthetics, technological integration and connection with nature, using a diverse series of materials and cleverly weaving in genuine elements of polished woods, sleek metals, stone and natural fibers. The retro style is carefully calculated, and doesn’t mind a bold decorative accent. Connoisseurs will recognize the 70’s postmodernist emphasis on symmetry and balance, as well as its eclectic blend of geometrical shapes and high contrast accents, which embellish the clean lines and open space. Think eye-catching patterns, strong mirror effects, playful pendant lights; all recognizable classics of the era, while the sleek frame allows for bright and bold colors, shapes and materials, such as velvet and chrome. With the intent to make indoor and outdoor living spaces complement each other, the high ceilings, the panoramic windows and the many balconies frame the lush greenery, so that the very private, resort-like gardens can be enjoyed at all times, from many viewpoints. For all its beauty, this one-of-a kind home doesn’t compromise function over form. All the amenities for modern comfort are included, and the house will easily accommodate the requirements of a large or multi-generation family. With its six all en-suite bedrooms, of which two are extra-large suites, its multiple entertaining areas, its Chef’s kitchen, sports bar, wine-cellar and well-equipped independent studio, there is a space for every one and every kind of activity.
