FALCON HOUSE
This upside-down Cotswold located Koto home was created to maximise the views of the surrounding nature from the living spaces, creating the feeling of living within the trees whilst the lower floor was designed to accommodate more intimate and cosy spaces. The timeless and distinctive aesthetic of minimalist ‘quiet luxury’ that Koto Living embodies is accentuated in the interiors. The raw exposed CLT walls and structure throughout the first floor internal spaces contrast with the black exterior, imbuing a sense of calm and serenity, soft and organic. Elements of craft and natural materials are woven throughout the interior scheme. The restrained approach ensures the connection between the house and nature outside with the use of organic shapes and thoughtful, unique objects - quality over quantity. The internal ground floor walls are painted with St Leo interiors plaster paint that brings a richness and earthy texture that is perfectly imperfect, creating a feeling of warmth. This is a home where memories can be made, spaces that have been designed to feel comfortable and welcoming. By adding texture in the form of organic fabrics, woven rugs, a custom wood headboard and plaster paint walls, the feeling of character and homeliness ensues. This is a house to slow down in, where spaces have been designed to contemplate and engage with nature, or to be social and embrace the joy of celebration with friends and family.
