A jewel on the Gulf of Naples
This jewel of an apartment opens to reveal a transformable space designed to suit the varying hospitality needs of its owners. Complemented by a terrace with a view that spans the Gulf of Naples, this apartment in an austere 19th-century palazzo radiates charm at first glance.
Description
At its heart are two lounge areas that can be partitioned or opened out as required. Large French windows let in the light needed to appreciate the refined choice of colours and furnishings. Though warm and welcoming, interior spaces are also rational and geometric, with a clever use being made of contrasts in black and white. The floor, in Legno+Color oak wood block, forms a unifying element. The irregular texture of the hand-finished blocks is enhanced by an intense KK 73 black, creating an atmosphere that is simultaneously intimate and stylish.
