One room for the owner alone.
An entrepreneur with a young family asked for one room in the villa that did not belong to anyone else — poker nights, late films, the rare evening alone. Closer to a private club than a media room.
Lighting designed as the primary material.
The ceiling is blackened. Linear LEDs run along three sides, set 18 mm into a recessed channel so the source disappears. Wall-washers pick out a single travertine column. The room can run cinema-dark or read fully lit.
Bespoke billiard table, fluted-oak bar.
The billiard table is bespoke — cantilevered legs in blackened steel, a slate bed, charcoal felt. The bar runs the full length of one wall in fluted European oak, with a brass kick rail you only notice on the second visit.
The most-used room in the villa.
It is the most-used room in the house — and the one no one photographs.
