administrators explain
how
this
wooden
construction
was
ingeniously
created
in order to make full
use of the extremely high vaulted
ceiling of this room. Great attention
was given to making the parquet
soundproof in order to avoid the
inconvenience of clacking heels
resounding through the house.
The bedrooms, which are four
in total, come with their ensuite
bathrooms, some of which have
been created out of exquisitely
selected spaces.
One of the
bathrooms had its surprisingly
spacious shower cubicle built into
the vaults, and a wall covered with
beautifully
smooth
‘veneziano’
finish. The finish is found in some
of the other rooms, and carries the
same blue shade that offsets the
generally white furniture well.
The fact that white has been
selected as the base colour,
means that all rooms remain fresh
and welcoming, whatever other
colours in play to boost the décor.
Everything had to be carried into
the house by hand, all materials
and all furnishings, especially
in the rooms above the wooden
construction. Wood is a key
element in this house, so that the
original wooden windows were kept
intact where possible, or replaced
and matched with similarly styled
apertures throughout.
