In honor of the upcoming Father's Day, I decided to dedicate this Tuesday's House Tour to all the wonderful men in our lives. This house belongs to Artur Miranda and exudes masculine chic in every way.
After years
working in the fashion world, Artur Miranda decided to turn his career around
with the creation of Oitoemponto Architecture & Interiors in 1993, which
later was joined by Jacques Bec. Almost a decade later, they have become a
benchmark in the international interior design industry, opting for a very
particular and recognizable style. This house in Famalicão,
in northern Portugal, is a superb inventory of impressive finishes and unique
pieces.
The design
aesthetic dictates a strong personality with constructive elements, such as
large spaces with coffered ceiling and expansive windows opening to the
outside. Bright lacquers, veined wood, marble and mirrors, make up a decor with
a nod to the golden years of Hollywood, mixed with design classics of the
twentieth century.
The facade is extended by a large infinity pool. In the solarium, pieces of an outdoor collection created by Thomas Pheasant for Baker-Maguire, are cleverly placed.
Tall windows in the living room provide wonderful views - introducing the garden outside. Window treatments are made with Larsen fabric.
The seating area revolves around spectacular Rocha twin tables with Rosso Levanto marble top designed by Oitoemponto Interiors. The sofas covered in Robert Scott fabric are also designed by Oitoemponto.
With its strong presence, the treated pine coffered ceiling provides additional comfort in the open living space.
A black-lacquered unit serves as separation between the kitchen and the office, marked by the oval shapes of the table and rug. On one side, the unit hosts a television screen and storage units, and the other side houses the kitchen appliances. The office also boasts a winery designed by Oitoemponto Furniture.
Wool rugs in russet tones, created by Oitoemponto, are responsible for framing the various spaces. A Platner Knoll chair sits alongside artwork by Shinique Smith, entitled "How Lucky We Are".
Black lacquer, steel and glass come together in this bar-sideboard designed by Oitoemponto. The chair, an original piece from the '50s was reupholstered with Donghia's signature fabric.
A stairwell is hidden by a sequence of columns of mirrors. The dining table top and front of sideboard is made of walnut. The ceiling lamp is a design of David Weeks Studio.
In the kitchen, the central island is made of black lacquer and steel, opposite the island, the same material can be found in the made-to-measure dresser. Phillip Jeffries wallpaper adorns the wall which holds a photography print from Francisco Queirós entitled "Peter Pan". Applicances are from Gaggenau.
A padded leather headboard rests on a Macassar Ebony wall. The Hästens bed is covered with a Sahco mohair fabric bedspread.
A large pivoting panel divides the dressing room and the master bathroom. The closet, void of doors, boasts alternating high gloss black lacquer and ebony wood. The ottoman is covered in fox fur trim.
In the master bath a black marble counter top sits atop mirror-lined cabinets.
I hope you enjoyed this week's house tour. Comments are always welcome. Ciao, and until next time.
