Ciao bellissimo
Classic Italian style meets modern convenience

The beauty of classical Italian architecture
will never fall from favour – on the other hand,
a bit of pampering modernity goes a long way
too. In this indoor-outdoor master suite the
two merge to opulent effect. The suite and the
home around it were designed by Robert Hidey
Architects, with Sherman Jones as project director.
“One of the most luxurious aspects of this
suite is the open balcony,” says Jones. “With no
near neighbours, the owners can exit the bathroom through the stacking glass pocket doors
and relax by the outdoor fireplace, augmented
by ceiling heaters, while taking in the views.”
