Interior designers Olivia Williams and Matt Merrell brought a keen eye to the interiors. The open kitchen/dining offers various luxurious features, including a separate scullery kitchen and pantry behind the custom wood paneled casework partition; Calcutta gold marble countertops, island, and backsplash; custom weathered brass range hood and cabinet pull detail; and a 13 foot long marble island with integrated stone sink and weathered brass base. A Murano glass chandelier above the dining table created the inspiration for the design palette.
