This is a completed project for an entrance hall that not only leads into the home but also stands out as a separate element of the interior, an accent in its own right. The space is a combination of high aesthetics and individuality, inspired by Italian courtyards – intimate, aristocratic and filled with light.
The first thing that catches the eye is the mosaic on the floor – handmade from glass and mother-of-pearl by the Italian luxury brand Sicis. Its surface plays with light like a rippling sea – a sense of movement, sparkle, and elegance, as if the person entering the home is in a crystal castle. This is exactly what the client was looking for: an echo of classic Italian architecture, but interpreted in a contemporary way.
The central area around the supporting column is designed as a spacious platform where the walls open into arched and pill-shaped niches, highlighted with high-quality technical stone. These niches house icons, sculptures, and valuable objects, transforming the entrance hall into a unique gallery.
The walls have been deliberately chosen in terms of tone and texture to provide a backdrop for the art— paintings by Vladimir Dimitrov-Maistora and sculptures such as "Drinking Water." We felt it was our duty to the grandeur of these masterpieces to surround them with the highest quality materials possible: solid walnut, brass, and hand-applied Florentine gold leaf on the frame of the wardrobe with mirrored doors.
Underneath the iconic painting "Father" is Cattelan Italia's Paramount cabinet—a bold accent piece. This is not just a piece of furniture, but a boutique item with a perfect balance between design and prestige.
The ceiling is painted in a soft milky blue, framed by a white baroque cornice that envelops the space with classic sophistication. This color combination—white, blue, and gold—conveys a sense of European aristocracy, reminiscent of the murals in palaces and the frescoes in noble residences. The combination is both airy and heavy, light and authoritative—a contrast that works in favor of the atmosphere.
The end result is a refined, artistic, and personalized space that embodies luxury beyond the logo—luxury as recognizable silence, attention to detail, and respect for tradition.
