Entry Description

Combining traditional, Old World grandeur with a flowing, modern connectivity, this home transitions effortlessly from formal business entertaining to casual family living. Finishings and fabrics not only give visual depth and texture, but create a tactile experience of luxury. Many functional necessities are “hidden” in plain view: air-conditioning vents concealed behind moulding details, sprinkler heads in ceiling motif.

A two-storey foyer introduces home’s unifying theme of opulence: inlaid marble flooring, domed ceilings with silver-leaf inlay and hand-painted motifs, exotic-wood millwork, and custom-designed metal filigree accents. Floor-to-ceiling columns plus archways and curved transom windows add architectural weight and visual grounding.

Distinctly masculine, office’s wide-screen monitor specifically installed to function as TV, digital art display, or overseas video-conferencing unit.

Lower-level piazza replicates the romance of an outdoor English garden/pavilion… just indoors. Hand-painted mural’s forced-perspective creates illusion that a pathway behind the fully-functional fountain is always moving away from the observer.
