On the fireplace side , pre-existing basalt facade was recovered by texture dark grey stone sheets to refresh its old look . As the fireplace wall was being covered , we designed to insert paper thin shelving units for displaying collected books and art pieces of the family . On the left narrow side of the fireplace Serge Mouille designed ( 1953 ) wall light was placed to give the
balance to asymmetrical wall with its powerful design which serves as an art piece on the wall with giving a dramatic light at night . In this area , adding dark mirrored paneling on the ceiling , gave great depth to this narrow pockets of the grand salon also reflects image of the beautiful magnolia tree in the garden into the salon .
On the other side of the salon the minibar unit is placed for preparation of cocktails for enjoyment during house parties . The design of the minibar were made such as that on a normal day it would be hidden behind a tinted tubed glass sliding panel doors . On the ends the stone covered panel doors created for hidden storage for glasses and bottles , so that the bar unit is not catching the eye with busy view of bottles glasses and preparation bar counter .
