Leisurely Chase

Leisurely Chase is a home shaped around one idea: life does not need to hurry. Sharp corners give way to rounded edges across the TV wall, ceiling and built-in volumes, softening the existing beams and wrapping the rooms like a gentle vessel. A Japandi palette of light oak, cream paint and soft leather sets a calm, unhurried tone.
At the entry, a vertical oak screen and black-and-white diamond floor tiles mark the threshold. Behind the sofa, half-height timber panelling topped by a six-pane timber-and-glass sliding door separates the study from the living room. Open, it lets light from the single-aspect windows reach the dining area; closed, it creates a private workspace that still shares the light. The study also serves as a quiet corner for music and reading, and converts into a guest room when family visit.
An oval cream sintered-stone table on a fluted timber base anchors the open kitchen, where reeded glass sliding doors contain cooking fumes without blocking the view. The master bedroom and its walk-in closet continue the soft palette with indirect lighting and layered curtains, completing a home built on restraint rather than decoration.
