Furnishings are similarly understated but, like the wood, glass and plaster volumes, texturally mixed. Each interior space is meticu- lous. The kitchen is particularly chic, awash in white oak cabinetry designed by Schicketanz, and featuring a dazzling duo of Murano glass pendants that loom large above the large kitchen island that sports a dramatic black granite countertop. The hues in this space are found in the master suite, as well; here, black-framed glass French doors open to a private outdoor space where a grand story- book oak stands sentry. Anchored by a large Concreteworks tub, the contemplative master bath also features a pair of French doors. As does the handsome library, which is rich in built-in cabinetry. The panoramas that permeate the house render art almost needless, yet there is a sensitively attuned selection that supports the modern aesthetic. Not showy, but rather, a subtler type of statement. Other accents—a harmonious, elemental mix harmonious—are used minimally, yet memorably, in both form and feeling. The contemplative outdoor courtyard, which is in many ways the heart of the home, is flanked by olive trees and features a contemporary stone fireplace wall. The earthy quality of the space complements the splendor of the exterior—majestic mountains, long-limbed oaks, verdant valley. Here, hardscape and landscape engage in a natural dance that partners with plantings of sage, rosemary and oregano. All coalesces in a picture one might expect from the brushstrokes of an Old Master. Along with comfortable and minimally accented furnishings, the courtyard makes for a cozy spot of refuge within a larger oasis. And within that oasis, a heaven on Earth. studioschicketanz.com
