Bold, striking and indeed a visual feast, this home is a sculptural sanctuary in terms of both architecture and interior design. The property was originally designed by the architectural firm that was commissioned again to redefine the design and create a home for the new owners – one that would suit their lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.

The brief was to enlarge the master suite to include a boutique-style dressing room and to reimagine the living spaces to incorporate a striking double-volume entrance and dining area, all within a contemporary and open-plan configuration,” explains the architect. He adds that a significant part of the vision was to transition from a warm, earthy modern style to a bold, ultra-modern black onyx aesthetic – “a transformation that involved revisiting every material and finish throughout the home”.

The Bentayga Atelier Edition showcases some of the most beautiful combinations of colour and finishes ever created by Bentley’s design team, to achieve a seamless journey from the outside to the inside of the vehicle, for a truly harmonious experience. A Hallmark satin matrix sits behind the gleaming vertical vanes of the main grille, while matching bright chrome lower grilles sit atop a satin Hallmark lower bumper. The 22” 10-spoke wheels feature a new finish created exclusively for the Atelier Edition. Tungsten satin wing vents, inscribed with the words ‘Atelier Edition’, offer a subtle identifying badge.
