Visitors pass through the “Butterfly Pavilion,” thus named for the butterflied marble slabs on either side of the enormous doors, and throughout the 19,500 square foot home will find leathered stone, smoked elm custom cabinets, oak floors and a glass bridge.

The theme throughout is designed to emulate the original time period and its values, he said.
“We’ve taken the popular yet timeless concept of a farmhouse and introduced an entirely new spin with ŌNIN. Farmhouses at their roots are accessible, simple and uncluttered,” Omar said in a statement.

“More than just deconstruction we’ve stripped away the barriers and embraced an openness and tactility that feel both expansive and intimate at the same time. I’m torn for my favorite space between the principal suite and powder room number one. There’s two,” Omar said. “The 65’ book-matched marble water feature isn’t bad either.”

“It would be easier to list the features of the house that aren’t bespoke. All my houses have an element of mystery to them and ŌNIN is no exception. We have flush doors that are barely differentiated from the walls, secret cabinet passageways that lead to other rooms,” Omar said.

Omar said his favorite places in the home are the seamless, pivoting bookshelves, one of which leads to a hidden space.
“My favorite powder room features a passage from Hagakure (the book of the samurai) etched into the mirror and a 4,500 pound boulder for a sink. Bespoke, absolutely,” Omar said.
