a minimalist leaf pattern. In lieu of curtains, moveable aluminum
           panels with stylized oriental patterns draw in the sunlight as desired.
           Pinup light units from Studio Italia bring the whole mood together.

           The corridors are fully covered with a unique custom-made
           wallpaper, Pajlo by Wall&Deco, which stretches from the entrance
           to the rest of the house. Wood paneling hides the doors to create a
           harmonious feel. The bedroom corridors lead to an open space that
           was turned into a work and study place. To the left of the corridor,
           Dana, a bespoke sofa table from the Formitable© line, stands proudly.
           The study or work area was designed in all white, with a touch of
           bronze to stimulate calm and clarity, and white back painted glass
           walls. To the left, a shelving unit made of white wood cabinets and
           Carrara marble partitions and glass mix for the shelves that come in
           a variety of depths. To the right, deep cabinets allow the architect
           daughter  of the household to store her maps and plans. The L-shaped
           work area, in high end Formica from Polymer, was enhanced with
           plants to infuse regenerative energy into the working routine. A one
           of a kind lighting unit made of customised stylised and suspended
           leaves from Formitable© adds a sculptural element to the whole
           space.

           Last but not least, the master bedroom greets you with clear lines and
           soothing emotions as you enter the tone on tone space. You first step
           into the dressing room with closets from end to end. The closets are
           made of Caleidolegno MW Toglio wood veneer, supplied from Tabu
           Italy, and feature hidden handles and bronze mirrors. Both joints and
           handles, made of oxidised steel, follow a unique path that goes all
           through the room. The TV unit facing the bed hangs from the ceiling
           and holds drawers and storage spaces. Further down the line, is a
           dressing table with a tryptich of mirrors, with the side mirrors that
           double as storage. The bed features a customised velvet headboard,
           made and installed in individual pieces to create a trompe l’oeil effect,
           while the rest of the wall is covered in bronzed mirrors. Paired, a set
                                                                    Dining
