Over the river, Samborondón

Our own home. 2018.

The opposite of the beach: a layered home over the river where family antiques — a carved sideboard, a bracket clock, crystal candelabra — live with modern pieces. Draped, tufted sofas face each other across a chevron hide, around a table of brass and glass.

A dining room for twelve under a large black-and-blue work, a bar painted black around a portrait, and a study brushed in blue across walls and ceiling like a woven check. Every room is anchored by its rug.

A double-height dining room: a black lacquer table for twelve, a large black, white and blue painting, a crystal chandelier and a gilded baroque mirror — The dining room, under the large work and the crystal chandelier.

Living room at sunset: a draped tufted sofa, a chair of stacked wood, a gold stool and a bracket clock, the dining room beyond — At sunset: draped silk, stacked wood, a bracket clock.

Draped tufted sofas, two dark armchairs and a brass and glass table on a black and white chevron hide rug — Chevron hide, brass and glass.

Living room with draped tufted sofas, a glass table with orange lilies, a gold vase and a photograph of a theatre over a white console — The living room toward the entry: a theatre in photograph, a gold vase, lilies.

A marble bar with gold and black stools against a black wall, under a large black and white portrait and globe lights — The bar: a portrait, a black wall, a branch of light.

A study with blue brushstrokes painted across walls and ceiling like a check, a long red sign and an antique desk — The study, painted by hand like a woven check.

A gold-leaf ceiling with a Murano chandelier over a large colourful abstract work — Gold leaf above, a Murano chandelier, colour below.

The dining table and pale chairs on a grey and gold damask rug — The dining room on a damask rug.

A printed hide with a baroque pattern under a stacked black lacquer console, a geometric work in pinks above — Printed hide, lacquer and a geometric work.
