Partney-Treadaway House

The actual space is small, the lot measuring 10 by 40 meters. The felt space, however, is ample, owing to the ebb and flow of interior and exterior space which utilizes every square meter of the property.

Partney house, a restoration, retains its original character with its typical high ceilings and wooden beams. In the dining room, light from a hidden skylight plays across the south wall whose arched alcove brings to mind the nave of a colonial church. The kitchen is a monochromatic a tour de force with cream colored tiles and wooden pantry doors. Old meets new as an arch surmounts the state of the art stove.

The bedroom, the clients favorite room is separate from public space. Here floor to ceiling windows open onto gardens on both sides. Behind there is a single palm; in front a swimming pool leads the eye back to the rest of the house.
