The heart of this landed home is a double-height hall with an open-riser staircase running through it, and that is exactly the kind of space where painting gets difficult. Large uninterrupted wall planes show every flaw, and the cut-ins have to be clean where the white meets the charcoal steel stringer and follows the ceiling line. Those edges are the job — get them right and the volume reads as calm and deliberate; get them wrong and nothing else rescues it.
The work carried outside as well. Up at terrace level the parapet was finished in a clean white with the underside of the overhang picked out in dark charcoal, and the line where the two meet was kept sharp against the sky. Throughout, handrails and finished surfaces were sheeted and taped off before anything was opened — protection first, which is what keeps a finished house finished.
