“We have a huge big fire pit which has a sort of cowl that comes down from the roof. I was influenced by one of [Italian architect] Gio Ponti‘s designs for that. It creates a huddling space, so in a huge big flowing house like this it creates a cocooning experience to sit around the fire together,” shares Julia.
The bathrooms have been a strong feature and focus from the get-go.
“Anthony said that he would like to feel that he was at a spa when he comes home, and I think that was the approach that I took towards the bathrooms,” she adds.
The doors of the bathrooms collapse to open the space right up and invite the outside in.
The home is a feast for the eyes and a privilege for Anthony to see all the elements of his visionary design come to life.
