Born in the 1950s and reborn through thoughtful renovation, this home whispers mid- century modern sophistication but with a knowing wink toward maximalist drama, reflecting a client who isn’t afraid to colour outside the lines – or the walls, furniture, and counters, for that matter. Step inside and the Kooij dining table, crafted from recycled plastics, immediately draws the eye, joined by a velvet banquette and a pendant that’s not afraid to flash a little pink. Just beyond, the kitchen lures you through its arched doorway with glimpses of Ijen Blue quartzite counters. The cabinetry is a masterclass in contradiction: stained oak cozies up with pale blue and pops of brick-red, joined in a palette that’s equal parts calm and electric. The bathrooms each vie for the spotlight. The main bath is a serene mint and terrazzo haven, perfect for soaking, sans shower (because sometimes resale value isn’t everything!). Downstairs, the bath is pure joy with powder blue, calacatta viola marble, orange accents and a parade of curves. The ensuite, meanwhile, keeps it luxe-yet-relaxed in warm beige tones with Taj Mahal marble, proving tiny doesn’t mean timid. Masterfully cohesive without being matchy-matchy, the home balances sculptural furniture with layers of texture, pops of vivid colour, and details that demand a closer look. It’s a space built unapologetically for its owner—a celebration of individuality, proof positive that designing for joy trumps playing it safe any day.
