вЂњWell-selected art and design objects should do more than simply decorate вЂ“ they should add narrative,вЂќ said White. A Wiggle cardboard chair by Frank Gehry adds a sculptural touch to the space. The opposing wall features a large walnut shelving unit designed by White. вЂњI decided on an вЂunfurnishedвЂ™ approach for the project вЂ“ opting instead for custom built-ins that extend and respond to the architecture, while providing most of the function for the space without the visual clutter,вЂќ the designer said.

A glass door leads to a generous terrace featuring gilded bronze bricks, charred-wood planter boxes and concrete dining furniture.
