Where a gable roof form goes, a giant picture window can easily follow – natural light is in abundance for this master bedroom

Bespoke furniture pieces were designed for this exotic interior, finished in bold colours, luxurious velvets, and solid wood veneer

This timber vanity is substantial and masculine while gun metal vessel basins/tapware contrast and complement the feature tiles behind

Agave attenuata survives on minimal water, thriving in extremely dry, sunny spots including sandy, well-drained soils, as well as tolerating partial shade

Here, a Rivani Washed Oak vanity with white gloss basin bowls, from Newtech, plays off feature Tribeca Seaglass tiles, from Tile Depot

A Staron solid surface island with fluted surfaces finds a linear echo in the splashback to the rear, comprised of Mosaic Kitkat tiles by Design Tiles
