THE CHÂTEAU

A sketch of the archways of the home as drawn by the Interior Designer Susana Goss.

A home modeled after the country estates of France for a young family, embodies the sophistication of tradition while youthful and fresh.

A grand foyer welcomes you to the party, a pause for a drink, a respite from the southern heat. Beyond, rooms unfold each holds the promise of a beautiful life.

A large metal staircase with wood steps and white embossed walls curve upwards out of the photo. Below the staircase is a circular small table with a linen tablecloth draped over it and a spread of wines, grapes and flowers.

A study in masculine refinement, the library blends European antiques with modern classics, all layered in rich materials and textures. Artwork by Raleigh-based artist Pete Sack adds a contemporary edge, offering a striking counterpoint to the room’s historic references.
