A second home made for gathering, with black millwork, Rosso Levanto marble, a bar, a card room and a theater for nights that run late.

A second home designed for one thing above all: bringing people together. The evening rooms (the bar, the kitchen, the card room and the theater) are wrapped in black-stained oak, Roman clay and Rosso Levanto marble, lit low and warm so a dinner can drift into the small hours.

The house still has to be lived in, so the private rooms soften: plaster walls, walnut and linen, afternoon light on the stair landing, and a playroom for the youngest guests. Glamorous, moody and, above all, comfortable.

“Inspired by the theme of liveable luxury, I set out to design a moody, glam and comfy home.”
