e ground, main floor comprises a guest
bedroom with a bathroom; a powder room
furnished with a floating shelf and adorned
with a Jacques Adnet mirror and custom
Union Square wallpaper by Crezana; and a
large (indoor-outdoor) entertainment area
with a floor-to-ceiling, cold-rolled steel
fireplace that contrasts with the yellow
Pixel Deer created by artist Jihoon Choi,
a leather Restoration Hardware sectional,
a pair of 1960s-era onet swivel chairs,
photography by Sharon Montrose and a
mixed-media collage by Tim Weldon on
a wooden door. Surrounded by the Cab
armchair by Mario Bellini (from Cassina),
the 7-foot recycled wood square table in
the dining area accommodates up to 16
guests. Four additional bedrooms with
accompanying bathrooms are located
on the upper floor. Noting the home's
entertaining bona fides, Martins says: "It
has wonderful bones, a very 'mountain'
look but with modern finishes such as steel
beams and concrete floors." Rustic and
industrial elements combine throughout in
a mix of high and low, and new and vintage
pieces with textures. "We wanted a cabin
aesthetic but with a twist, and something
masculine and strong," Martins explains.
"We used a lot of leather, steel, raw woods,
burlap." For color, the interior designer
used a lot of browns highlighted with reds
and oranges. "ese are the client's favorite
colors and, coincidentally, mine too!" he
confesses. "It works well with the sunset of
the mountains."
Designed to spend quality time with
family and friends while being surrounded
by a majestic landscape, this project was
clearly inspired by nature. "Its tones and
textures were brought into the house
to create a beautiful background to the
celebrations that were about to happen in
the home," says Martins.
