The Mesa Koru residence offers a unique atmosphere of “controlled, chic chaos” with its use of antique and modern designs that enchants both homeowners and guests alike

This 6,000 square feet home, set on a generous 10,000 square feet plot, is a testament to Escapefromsofa's commitment to crafting spaces that harmonise contemporary design with classic charm. Upon entering, the house reveals a sophisticated formal living room, a main kitchen, a dining room, a guest bathroom, and a spacious cloakroom. In the living room, iconic pieces like the Pipistrello lamp from Martinelli Luce and vintage Murano candle holders from the 1960s complement the plush modern furniture, evoking a sense of nostalgia amidst the warm, earthy tones and contemporary art.

The owners desired versatile settings for hosting guests, leading to the creation of two distinct dining areas. The formal dining room, with its dark-toned wood and bespoke features by Escapefromsofa - including the table, chairs, and cabinetry - offers an intimate ambiance. In contrast, the casual dining area, bathed in sunlight, features an elegant round table, mid-century Scandinavian chairs, and a delicate pendant lamp, with curved elements from the decorative screen to the furniture, crafting a relaxed yet refined atmosphere.

The kitchen, a masterpiece of bespoke design, features mosaic flooring, coffered wooden ceiling panels, and Volakas marble countertops. Freshly painted white cabinets provide a striking contrast to the darker hues of the connecting rooms, creating a space that is as functional and welcoming as it is elegant.

Upstairs, the first floor offers two unique guest rooms, each with private bathrooms, and a luxurious master suite complete with an en suite bathroom and a spacious walk-in wardrobe. The blend of contemporary and antique details continues, lending the bedrooms and bathrooms the ambiance of a boutique hotel. The home’s warm, earthy palette is accentuated by exotic colour accents such as vibrant red and olive green, adding layers of brightness and depth.

Every area of the Mesa Koru residence is designed with multifunctionality in mind. Built-in storage solutions and adaptable furniture ensure each space can be used effectively without sacrificing style. This thoughtful approach extends to the ground floor, which houses technical rooms, a laundry room, a cozy two-person helper’s room with its own bathroom, an open kitchen, and a light-filled living area.

The outdoor terrace includes a living and dining area, extending the home’s comforts to the garden. Romantic lighting throughout the garden adds the final elegant touches to the Mesa Koru home, creating an outdoor space as inviting as the interiors.
