Shortlisted: Interior Design Scheme - Global Award
The International Design & Architecture Awards 2025
From the outset, Trenzseater’s brief was to deliver a cohesive design scheme that seamlessly integrated window furnishings, wallpapers, lighting, furniture, artwork, mirrors, and accessories. The interior is filled with sophisticated finishes and artisanal details, featuring an abundance of texture and materials that elevate every room. In the entrance hallway, a dramatic alligator wallpaper on the ceiling leads to adjoining spaces adorned with gold leaf wallpaper, enveloping guests in warmth and luxury from the moment they step inside.
Lighting plays a central role in the design, with grand oversized fixtures in brushed brass throughout. A standout feature is the custom designed crystal waterfall chandelier in the main stairway, comprising 21 pendants that shimmer like crystal rain, reflected in a statement mirror. Below, the marble mosaic entry floor features Nero Marquina and Calacatta marbles arranged in an intricate geometric pattern.
Custom furniture upholstered in velvets, wools, and antiqued leather is paired with high-gloss tables and European rugs, creating a sense of curated sophistication. The wine cellar beneath the floating staircase, constructed from American Oak and matt black metalwork with LED lighting, adds both functionality and drama.
Natural materials such as seagrass wallpapers provide a textured backdrop for the client’s art and artefacts, enhancing the home’s timeless elegance. Trenzseater has succeeded in crafting a residence that is both liveable and luxuriously layered.
