Designed for conversation or reading, the library reflects the home’s quiet refinement. Here, Queen Anne armchairs and a clean-lined sofa gather around an antique Korean woven-wood chest. Custom cabinetry displays books and conceals media equipment.

“We used granite because we wanted a surface that would work well for heavy use, but would also complement the saturnia marble used throughout the main living areas,” Puente says.
With an eye for scale and detail, Puente orchestrated Pérez-de Cobos’ international collection of art and furnishings into a fresh composition for his new home.
