Lake View Residence

Type
Private residence — interiors
Location
Cairo, Egypt

A bright residence built on one gesture: a carved stone wall running the length of the living room, with walnut joinery closing each end. Everything else is soft — bouclé, deep rugs, dome pendants, and planting brought right up to the glass.

Dining and living rooms under dome pendants, artwork on the panelled wall.
Curved bouclé seating in the living room against a carved stone wall.
Entrance console with a sculptural mirror and a stone-clad wall beyond.
The entry looking through to the living room, bamboo screening the corner.
Corridor hung with a run of framed works, doors receding.
Wall and skirting detail where plaster meets polished stone.

The whole apartment is lit through full-height sheers, so the working window is wide but the contrast is low. The set follows the plan as you walk it: entry, living, dining, kitchen, then the bedrooms, with the mirrors and the marble kept for the closing frames.

Long living room: low sofa, stone wall, light through full-height sheers.
