Above The foyer highlights a ceiling-mounted frosted glass Murano chandelier and art
by Cruz Diez and Tuvillo. Right In the dining area, twelve custom leather chairs —
engraved with each family member’s name on the back — by Anima Domus accommodate
for large family gatherings.
On the other end of the floor is the media room. Cozy in feel, it features the
Paramount sofa by Frighetto in white leather with brown piping and two curved
Lip chairs in Aniline leather with zebra wood backs. A wool carpet from Turkey
adds texture to the wenge floor. On the wall, Anima Domus designed a high-gloss
lacquer and walnut wood paneling shelf unit around the entertainment system.
The custom audio visual work was done by Maxicon. The Arco floor lamp
designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1962 serves as the main
lighting source.
Both levels of the home have expansive terraces overlooking the city and bay.
Upstairs on the rooftop terrace, a custom-designed canopy provides shelter
from the sun. A circular sofa and matching chairs and table from Dedon provide
ample casual seating. A round matching table features a triangle-shaped
glass top case filled with seashells. On one end of the terrace is a barbeque
and hot tub; on the other, a round table by Royal Botania and seating for eight.
A clay sculpture replica of a soldier buried with China’s first emperor, Qin Shi
Huang Di, stands guard in a corner.
This penthouse is both relaxed and formal, yet a lived-in home. ◆
