This same effortlessness is reflected in the choice of all furnishings and elements which bear the same stamp of essential and thoughtful design and a light and airy countenance. Of these, two stand out: the first is the most noticeable, a large BOX (as the designers describe it) which takes up the center of the floor, essentially dividing it into sections (living areas, reading room, kitchen and dining rooms) while also summing up the life sensibilities of the family with its featured quote about "love." The other element, or rather elements, are the chandeliers crowning the décor, one hovering like a halo above the table in the open-plan kitchen/dining area, while the other illuminates the staircase leading towards the other floors like a multipronged star. 

A walk up the flight of stairs reveals the same simplistic yet thoughtful design through modern furnishings with touches of homeliness such as the white piano. But here the uncomplicated, predominantly white and gray color way - also seen in the Italian Carrara marble bathrooms - is punctuated with earthy notes and warm, oak flooring. Meanwhile, sage green, brick red and shades of gold gently shade the rooms creating a cozier, soft environment for the children of the family, since this storey is dedicated to their growing-up needs and lifestyle.

Finally, the basement floor is a grown-up affair featuring deeper shades of gray and predominantly black throughout, then broken up by bold, colorful artworks which create juxtaposition with the minimal furnishings, adding texture and depth to the understated space. However, just as with the rest of the house, a quiet almost elemental feeling of Zen is palpable and encouraged, enveloping the resident family and their guests in all the effortless elements that turn this house into a home.
