Tetra reveals the ultimate in quality bespoke craftsmanship born from a collaboration between Jigsaw Interior Architecture and Amirez Developments.
The last time I met with Matt, Shan and the Jigsaw Interior Architecture team was at the unveiling of their stunning show home on the riverside of Wick Lane; a property that subsequently reached the final shortlist, from hundreds of applicants, for the What House Awards in the Best Luxury House Category. Today I was on beautiful Evening Hill to meet with the team again to view their
latest development.
At the end of a secluded, private driveway, I saw Tetra, one of three spectacular four bedroom contemporary town houses completed this October by Amirez and designed by award winning architects Anders Roberts Cheer. Providing the ultimate in luxury living, Tetra has an essentially monochromatic colour palette, with a contemporary façade which contrasts exterior finishes of natural stone, smooth crisp render, matte black window frames and grey timber cladding in an arresting geometric, textural contrast.
The stylish interior is the result of a longstanding and proven collaboration between Amirez and Jigsaw Interior Architecture, a dream design partnership which marries bespoke design with supreme build quality. This duo’s portfolio is a perfect example of form and function working in harmony at the very highest level.
Having had the opportunity to walk through the three houses it was no surprise to hear that house one, Hedra, was sold off plan in the early stages of the build process, with the lucky and excited owners almost ready to move into their new home.
In Tetra and Dodeca the versatile accommodation is arranged over four floors, each with a terrace and serviced by a lift (finished in opulent dark taupe leather), and from the sun room at the top, through the master bedroom on the second floor to the first floor’s kitchen/living/dining space all are blessed with spectacular views over Poole Harbour, the Sandbanks peninsula, Brownsea Island and the Purbeck Hills beyond.
Natasha Stynes, Jigsaw’s lead Interior Architectural Designer on the project, knew that when working with Amirez there would be no compromise when it came to design concepts or with the quality of materials available to her; she relished this opportunity to freely realise an entirely bespoke and exceptionally finished scheme. Similarly, through Jigsaw’s involvement right at the early planning stages, Amirez were confident that they would deliver a property in which the future home owner could enjoy an optimised layout affording them a sense of spaciousness, comfort and luxury.
It is this union of aesthetics with enjoyment of use through considered design, which sets Tetra apart from other more ‘off the shelf’ counterparts.
Certain interior architectural elements are featured throughout the three properties in the development, such as the bespoke, black oiled oak doors with vertical, linear detail, Italian kitchens, designer tiling imported from Spain and Philippe Starck brassware in the bathrooms; yet each home has additionally been designed with individual finishes giving each its own personality and style.
The overall look has a distinctly monochromatic feel, yet remains warm and inviting, with chic blackened oak treads on the staircases juxtaposed with the crispness of the plastered walls. In the bathrooms, glamorous ebony and white marble tiling is given a funky twist in herringbone patterns with the contrasting colourways used to create a stylish, scattered graphic effect.
In the Italian kitchens, luxurious natural granite and marble worktops in richly veined Bianco Eclipse and Arabescato sit in solid, chunky, sleek slabs against dark grey handleless cabinetry. In Tetra this natural stone also mixes with the warmth of oak, arced and cantilevered to create a stunning, floating breakfast bar, made by Simon Thomas Pirie.
Feature lighting from Flos is complimented by Jigsaw’s own recessed lighting design features in the kitchens and on the staircases.
Ultimately it is the combination of an assured build quality from Amirez, with Jigsaw’s meticulous eye for detail that has created an outstanding property, which although inherently luxurious is also fresh and playful too.
