Bold and Experimental

Striking a perfect balance between form and function, this private villa designed by C’est Ici presents a bold and experimental interior that captures the vibrant personality of its owners, who are individuals that love to entertain. More than just a place to live in, the villa has been crafted as a dynamic, highly curated environment where every element has been thoughtfully considered to serve both everyday living and elevated hosting experiences. From the moment you step through the entrance, the tone is set for a dramatic yet welcoming journey. A custom-designed wooden Crittall door not only anchors the space visually but also serves as a functional, transitional element, enhancing flow between rooms while doubling as a striking architectural statement. This entry point is more than just a passage; it acts as a hub, offering seamless access to the formal zones on the ground floor which comprises of the living area, dining space, kitchen, office and powder room. The layout of the villa follows a fluid, open-plan configuration where formal living, bar and dining zones interconnect effortlessly. This openness supports various modes of hosting, from intimate family dinners to lively social gatherings, and provides a visual continuity that amplifies the villa’s contemporary character. Large openings extend this sense of connection to the outdoors, reinforcing a lifestyle of ease and interaction.

In the living area, personality takes centre stage, with a bespoke green sofa that injects vibrancy and warmth. This striking centrepiece is flanked by iconic Soriana chairs by Cassina – symbols of modern Italian elegance – and a Vibia North 5666 floor lamp that adds a sculptural touch. Flexible, multifunctional seating arrangements have been designed to adapt easily, accommodating everything from casual chats to cocktail soirées.
