This home isn’t afraid of the dark. In fact, it leans into it—with elegance, restraint, and quiet confidence. A bold blend of Victorian charm and modern minimalism, this obsidian-toned residence breaks the mould. Named Best Residential Design at the SIDA Awards 2023, it redefines what a moody interior can be: layered, soulful, and deeply considered.

Step inside and you’re greeted by a rich, neutral palette. Matte grey cabinetry sets the tone, grounded by warm brown leather and softened by slate blues and muted reds. Open shelving and matte black finishes add cohesion, giving the home its signature sense of understated drama.

A matte black archway marks the transition to a quieter zone. Here, a space doubles as a home office and workout corner, complete with clever built-ins that turn books into design statements. In the bedroom, the palette deepens. A generous wardrobe anchors the space, while soft grey bedding and sheer curtains create a calm, cocoon-like mood.

Is this where black romance begins? Perhaps. But more than anything, it’s a home that plays with contrast—light and dark, classic and modern, softness and structure—and does it all with remarkable ease.
