Upon arrival, guests are greeted by dark wood slats and accents of chiaroscuro which hint suggestively at the dining space beyond. Partitions within the dining area take the form of a web of beautifully woven rope, echoing the ancient Japanese art of shibari with understated drama.  A sculptural rope installation can also be found on the terrace, suspended above a contemporary fire-pit.
