"There's a real structure to it that we
both understand." Nimmo better than
most.
To the home's primary material palette
of rough-cut and smooth stone and
painted champagne finishes he added
black reflective glass, suede wall
coverings, and various marbles from
Sequoia to white quartz. He designed
most of the furnishings throughout
and incorporated luxury pieces from
the likes of Fendi Casa and art from
boldfaced names Damien Hirst,
Helmut Newton and more.
The interior reaches a new level when
open to the sublime natural surround,
a landscape of meticulous gardens
featuring modern interpretations
of traditional French topiaries and
espalier walls. Uniquely, the pool
(plus a pool cabana with pool baths,
an outdoor bar and more) is situated
off to side of the house to make way
for the grand lawn, which is perfectly
poised for parties. Like a butterfly
emerging from a chrysalis, the home
takes an especially dramatic turn in
the evening with specialty lighting, fire
features, and water walls framed in
light among the elements of a majestic
transformation. In these moments, "It's
a whole different level of wow," Savary
says.
"Every element adds to the feeling of a
special place," he adds. "Something
more than your typical home."
Something extraordinary.

theater, and a guest bedroom plus two
fabulous kitchens, one for family and
the other a large, professional-grade
chef's service kitchen that, in premium
hotel fashion, is well equipped with
open displays for an array of food and
drink items—ideally arranged by the
owner who loves to cook. Upstairs
is the province of the bedrooms,
including the glamorous primary suite
with a generous outdoor deck and
adjoining living spaces, plus a pair of
sumptuous primary baths, each one
an oasis swathed in stone.
Not only is presentation everything in
this house—it is everywhere too. Even
at basement level, where in addition
to a golf simulator and a music room
is one of the most smashing spaces
in the whole place, the wine room—a
haute homage to the hospitality
influence highlighting the dark hues
of wine bottles and a reflective ceiling
that stretches the space vertically for
a sleek, sexy vibe.

background and his previous
collaboration with the owner were
crucial to achieving the museum-
quality interior. "We have learned to
work well together," Nimmo says of
this aesthetic kinship. "If there was
100 samples of grey fabric on his
table and the same 100 on my table,
we would probably pick the same
grey. In many ways, we completed
each other's thoughts." And yet, "You
have to be disciplined when you're in
a in the hotel business," Nimmo adds.
