Space-Out in Naples

A far-fetched departure from the 'on trend' pages and minds of designers found in Southern Living, with an unassuming exterior remaining on par with the surrounding residence's aesthetic. However, there's no doubt that the interior and entertaining outdoor spaces are vastly distinct from the neighbors.

The interior mezzanine design conveys an illusion of spaciousness, with ceilings high enough for an in-house trapeze act. Views from the main living to the second story allow people on each to feel like they are in the same room. One can definitively call this an open-living floor plan. Chic metals seamlessly integrate within the glass panels, fostering an airy baroque vibe – while towering glossy white acrylic walls display colorful paintings, pop art, and an array of boudoir sculptures. The living room lacked a TV, a bold statement, yes. But how better to initiate a meaningful conversation than removing an object that hinders it? Especially in a home designed to promote them. A doubled sided floor to ceiling glass wine cellar, situated ever so ideally to be the main attraction, yet simultaneously blending in –– as if not there unless looking for it. While the estate oozes a profound sentiment of modern luxury, I noticed a deeper notion of maximal minimalism, with art being the key focus. This home is something different, finally. Though I left desiring all of the secret amenities I didn't even know existed in a home – unfortunately, I know about them now…so, cheers to luxury.
