Within the bogs, a geometrical sample of sq. and triangular monochromatic tiles covers the partitions and ground and is echoed within the ground end of the doorway hallway.

“The consumer needed a daring materials palette to create a provocative setting for his or her assortment of artwork, furnishings and vintage mild fittings,” defined Michell.
