These lively additions complement the f luid design of the staircase’s handrail.

“The handrail winds seamlessly around the spine of the staircase like a delicate ribbon that curves and f lows up, over and around the path of travel,” describes French. “At its core, the home’s design is meant to be expressive; it invites you to look closer. We took great pride in creating interesting spaces with the materials and their application. When these materials catch the light, it makes for multifaceted expressions.”

White walls, exposed concrete ceilings, terrazzo f looring on the ground f loor and stained-oak parquetry upstairs, and robust stone varieties like Bianco Chiavara granite, Aphrodite quartzite and Noce Eschilo travertine combine in a harmonious whole.

On the first storey, four bedrooms, each with their own balcony or courtyard, are pleasant and filled with light. A gallery divides the master bedroom from the other bedrooms. Here, the pink Tender Vis-a-vis daybed from Moroso offers a resting spot.

Opposite page, clockwise from top left: The tangerine ceiling and the iridescent Shimmer mirror from Glas Italia create visual interest in this bathroom; also designed by Urquiola, the Moroso Tender Vis-a-vis daybed matches the curved form and pink hues of the Cc-tapis Slinkie rug perfectly; a window in the pool wall offers glimpses of aquatic activity from the courtyard; Jaime Hayon’s Maestro vase for Bosa brings a lively touch to the dining room, which also houses the Moroso Mathilda table and chairs
