For a young couple and their dog, this home was imagined as a quiet retreat from the rhythm of the city. A space where dark tones breathe warmth and calm rather than weight. The palette is restrained yet rich, layered in black charcoal and walnut wood that soften beneath the afternoon light.

Cabinetry becomes part of the architecture, its fluted rhythm giving depth and shadow to the walls. Black marble lines the kitchen and bath, its veins catching soft reflections from the concealed lighting. Each surface feels tactile and honest, crafted to age beautifully with touch.

The hallway opens with a grid of checkered tiles that hint at movement before leading into the main living space. Here, warm light gathers against the timber and fabric, creating a quiet hum of comfort. A small coffee corner sits by the kitchen, glowing gently like a ritual that begins every morning.

This home speaks softly. It tells its story through texture and proportion, through the way light rests on dark surfaces. A calm, tactile stillness for two people (and one happy dog) to live within.
