A project based on the idea of making maximum use of natural light: there are no closed compartments, but instead rooms connected by large doorways. The approach generates perspectives, views, and above all a physical and visual circuit inside the space.
Two iconic chandeliers decorate the main areas. A dramatic Windsor on two levels for the two-story volume of the monumental staircase, and a Rotterdam at the centre of the luminous dining room.
