The Brief
Our clients, a young family with an appreciation for both classical and art deco aesthetics, sought a home that would serve as a canvas for their eclectic tastes while providing a nurturing environment for their growing family. The challenge lay in seamlessly blending disparate design elements - classical architecture, art deco boldness, and contemporary clean lines - into a cohesive whole that felt both fresh and timeless. They desired each space to have its own personality while maintaining a harmonious flow, with particular emphasis on creating bespoke bedrooms tailored to individual family members.
The Approach
We embraced a 'curated eclecticism' strategy, carefully selecting and fusing elements from different eras to create a unique aesthetic. Classical elegance formed the foundation through parquet flooring and beaded walls, providing a timeless backdrop for more contemporary and art deco-inspired elements. Light became a crucial design tool, with strategically placed skylights and large windows enhancing the interplay of textures and patterns throughout. In the bedrooms, we took a more tailored approach - crafting a serene retreat in the master suite with whites and warm timbers, while the children's rooms burst with personality through bold colors and playful architectural elements.
The Outcome
Ravenna Residence stands as a testament to thoughtful, personalized design. The home's entrance immediately showcases the harmonious juxtaposition of classical and contemporary elements, with parquet floors providing a sophisticated foundation while arched doorways and mirrors nod to art deco influences. In the living areas, clean-lined modern furniture sits comfortably alongside ornate, classically inspired pieces, their beauty amplified by abundant natural light. Each bedroom tells its own story while remaining part of the larger narrative - from the calming master suite to the vibrant children's spaces. This home celebrates individuality within unity, demonstrating that with careful curation, seemingly disparate elements can create a space that is both visually striking and deeply personal.
