01. Structural Grace & Symmetry

The Contemporary Classic process at Tribuz begins with Structural Grace. We lean into the classical principles of Order and Symmetry, but we apply them with a lighter touch. The discovery phase focuses on the "Sightlines" of the home. We ensure that every room has a balanced focal point—whether a contemporary fireplace or a grand window—that is framed by subtle architectural moldings.

We prioritize Visual Breathing Room. Unlike traditional styles that can feel cluttered, we map out "Quiet Zones." We keep the classical wall panels (boiserie) but simplify their profiles, removing the ornate carvings to let the geometry speak for itself. The goal is to create a space that feels anchored in history but energized by the openness of modern architecture.

02. The Curated Palette

Execution is where we practice The Curated Palette. We move away from the heavy dark woods of the past, opting instead for limed oak, pale walnuts, and matte-finished stones. Our material selection focuses on "Understated Luxury": we pair honed (not polished) marble with high-quality linen, silk, and wool.

We celebrate the Transition of Texture. We might pair a classic "Chesterfield" silhouette with a sleek, minimalist metal base, or hang a modern abstract painting within a traditional molded wall frame. Lighting is the final layer—using architectural pot-lights to highlight the classical cornices while placing a bold, contemporary sculptural chandelier as the room's centerpiece. For Tribuz, Contemporary Classic is about "Timelessness without the Weight"—a residence that feels established, dignified, and perfectly relevant to today's lifestyle.
