Travertine-effect porcelain cladding defines the central feature courtyard, enhancing its architectural prominence, while reinforcing a connection to the natural landscape. A pivotal design intervention is the feature courtyard at the heart of the villa, an open-air sanctuary that invites natural light and greenery into the core of the home, establishing a spatial and sensory continuity between indoor and outdoor environments.
EXECUTION
The transformation of the villa entailed a comprehensive reconfiguration of the second floor, where two standard bedrooms were reimagined into a bespoke master suite. This expansive retreat integrates a dual en-suite configuration with his-and-hers bathrooms and a custom walkin wardrobe, optimizing both functionality and indulgence. Throughout the villa, new flooring selections, luxury fabric-lined wall treatments, and bespoke joinery introduce a heightened level of sophistication. The use of travertine porcelain cladding extends beyond the courtyard, reinforcing textural depth across key surfaces.
A significant structural modification involved the closure of the doubleheight void within the family area, allowing for the creation of a dedicated playroom on the first floor.
AMBIENCE
The atmosphere within Villa Esencia is one of understated opulence, balancing warmth with contemporary refinement. The interplay of natural textures and tailored finishes fosters a luxurious yet eminently livable environment, ensuring that the residence remains both aspirational and deeply personal.
