About 100 years after Villa Nocturne, a Mediterranean-style Monaco home was built, owner Mark Brockbank purchased it describing it as "an unhappy house crying to be saved".
Brockbank and his partner Marco Orsini first hired Marc Corbiau, a brussels based architect, for a schematic concept, then turned to architects Luca Bortolotto and Nikos Gallis to complete the job.
After stripping and reconstructing the interior, Brockbank turned to Timothy Whealon, who he had hired almost a decade earlier to decorate his London townhouse. While working together on his London home, they had accumulated an array of European antiques and midcentury pieces, as well as paintings, drawings, and photographs, which they edited to fit Villa Nocturne's smaller space.
Whealon devised a warm palette of sand, brown, and ivory for the furnishings, in tune with both his clients' tastes and the pristine local light.
This glass conservatory was added during the renovation and is my favorite aspect of this home.
A natural palette allows for vibrant colors and patterns to pop and definitely catches the eye.
I love a simple bedroom that is clutter- free and allows the mind to breathe and relax.
The master bath is the definition of clean, white serenity.
Love the printed dining room chairs. A whimsical twist to what would have otherwise been a very traditional, beige dining room.
The perfect wallpaper for adding depth to a smaller guest bathroom.
An observatory and view like this makes it hard to believe this exists in the most densely populated country in the world.
