Stepping inside, the entrance vestibule sets the tone. Enveloped in custom mauve Venetian plaster, the space gives way to a sculptural staircase whose curved balustrade and sinuous metallic handrail feel more like a carved object than a functional necessity. Overhead, alabaster-and-brass round ceiling lights by Apparatus Studio appear to float like lily pads, while a large abstract painting by Louise Olsen anchors the space in organic movement, softening the architectural rigor with painterly intuition.

As mentioned before, entertaining is the house's true raison d'être, and the open-plan living area makes this immediately clear. Anchored by Patricia Urquiola's Tufty-Time Sofa for B&B Italia, the room is conceived as a generous landscape for conversation rather than a formal lounge, with modular seating facing a wall of French doors that open onto a terrace. Behind it, a commercial-grade Poliform kitchen island asserts itself against dark cabinetry through its sleek, minimalist stainless-steel silhouette and marble detailing. Underfoot, Versailles-pattern parquetry is softened by a custom silk rug, while a glossy, oversized artwork by Dale Frank amplifies the room’s shifting light. Pieces such as &Tradition’s Wulff Lounge Chair and Isamu Noguchi’s Akari Floor Lamp adding to the room’s tactile richness, and yet, remarkably, nothing feels overstated.
