The great atrium is further emphasized by elements supporting a strong visual structure — millwork is built in, and low height overhangs and corridors are emphasized through Italian Statuario marble lined and textured feature walls.
Private spaces align along the large double height volume comprising the combined formal entertaining, dining and family space. Multi-level layered sculptural lighting lowers the 16’4” verticality to a human scale, adding the comfortable layer of intimacy while sharp edgy lighting and tonal contrast between materials energize the design.
