Inspired by the classical architecture of Palladio, the exquisitely elegant entry-hall foyer of this Italian villa home sets the theme for the architecture of the residence. It is beautifully proportioned ordered space, described by three perfect, sculptural groin vaults, which reach upward to the sky.
It transitions the exterior landscape with the interior spaces, and stretches laterally along the main core of the house, linking the private north wing with the outstretched south wing, which houses the secondary bedrooms and utility spaces.
A beautifully edited vignette, showcasing an antique Empire chest, draws the eye to one end of the gallery space, while on the opposite end a glimpse is offered into the chic, formal powder room.
The elegant glass entry doors, in turn, are placed on-center with the tripartite rustic Cortona stone arches that form the entry loggia. Natural light floods into the interior spaces. The view outward is through the loggia, into the intimate stone courtyard, and out to the nearly endless, magnificent Tuscan-like landscape beyond.
