PORTUGAL TOWNHOUSE
The Clive Christian team installed custom cabinetry, panelling and bespoke freestanding pieces throughout the house, including the entrance hall, ensuite bedrooms, dressing rooms, lounge, dining hall, cigar room and games room. Detailing and materials were adapted to suit the style of the home, with bespoke marquetry adding to the highly personal finish.

STRIKING ENTRANCE HALL
The striking monochrome entrance hall makes an immediate impact while honouring the Art Deco period of the house. Black walnut cabinetry with contrasting brass fittings and gold inlay bands, as well as white wall lights, complement the striking black and white fireplace and marble floor.
GLAMOROUS DINING ROOM
A large central marble dining table sets a glamorous tone for the room, which is complemented by grey maple cabinetry with marble interiors. The classic colour scheme and use of geometric motifs again recall the period in which the house was built.
Clive Christian worked with luxury wine storage brand Spiral Cellars to install bespoke wine cabinets to house the client’s extensive collection.
HIS AND HERS DRESSING ROOMS
Expansive ‘his and hers’ dressing rooms continue the monochrome theme of the entrance hall, with the white (hers) of frosted maple cabinetry contrasting with the use of black walnut (his). The clients’ initials are depicted in marquetry inlay on the wardrobe doors. Soft leather interiors keep treasured clothing in pristine condition while catering to the client’s love of fine materials.
ELEGANT STUDY
The client’s study features an elegant window seat surrounded by classic walnut cabinetry and shelving, complete with integrated lighting, to house books and mementos. Skilful marquetry inlay on the desk depicts the client’s initials.
GAMES ROOM &
CIGAR ROOM
In the games room, a large coffee table features a marquetry backgammon board and a chess board. The room is panelled in grey maple, with cabinetry including a TV unit and a dresser that incorporates further refrigerated wine storage.
The cigar room includes a floor-to-ceiling drinks station with shelving for fine spirits as well as wine refrigerators from Spiral Cellars. Classic walnut panelling with brass fittings and gold inlay bands adds to the intimate feel.
