Sophie Ashby, founder of Studio Ashby, said: "The interior design of the residence is inspired by the background, look and feel of the Dutch park area. Especially the jewel-like tones of the Kyoto Garden and Leighton House." Ashby believes that combining art, antiques, handicrafts, colors, patterns and textures in a space will produce a poem, and careful layering adds a sense of personality to the design.
