Villa Bacchanalia
Naples, FL
The vision for this project was to take the wonderful experiences the client had across the globe, and represent them appropriately in their home, all while bringing a vibrant and energetic feel to the space. The open concept of the home offers a perfect backdrop to display the vast art collection that has been gathered by the owners. These masterpieces serve as an inspiration for the playful color palette that is used in much of the living spaces.
The bedrooms in turn are very unique in their own right. The inspiration for each of the 6 Guest Bedrooms is from very specific memories that the owner had in each place. Walking into each room, you truly feel you are transported to each of the magical places. From the affluent feel of Mayfair representing the West End of London, one of the most expensive districts in the world. The soft colors and Shagreen finished furniture, creates the illusion that you are staying in a luxuriously modern hotel along Park Lane in London. The Tokyo room - with its wildflower mural serving as a focal point of the room, its vibrant colors detailed in the bedding and accessories, and the rich red vinyl wallcovering in the guest bath, offer an urban feel that is true to this culture. Istanbul is the most luxurious of them all with its deep colors of blue, gold and red and warm accents, each guest will feel as though they traveled to this magical location, where the cultures of east meets west. The remaining rooms of Rome, Napa and French Embassy each boast beautiful furnishings, rich fabrics and interesting textures that make you feel that you have traveled to that respective location.
In contrast, the Master Suite offers a very neutral pallet, giving the feel of relaxing retreat at any World Class Spa. From the luxurious fabrics, the textured wallcoverings, and state of the art bathroom, the owners feel that they have a space where they can rejuvenate each evening. Relaxing in the Teak elevated porcelain tub, or escaping to the adjoining outdoor black onyx pebbled shower, the experience takes you worlds away.
The highlight of this amazing home is the outdoor living space. No matter where you are standing in the home, you have an amazing view of one of the dramatic outdoor areas. The White Shell Stone decking leads you to the gourmet - style kitchen, to the Mediterranean style pool with Mosaic glass tiles of blues and blacks, to the romantic hidden courtyard. Mounted lanterns surround the space allowing for an intimate feel in the evening, illuminating the free falling water feature, that cascades into the pool. Accents of stacked stone, hand painted Middle Eastern Tile, vibrant colors of blues, greens and yellows against the modern white furniture bring this secluded outdoor space to life and create a playground for both young and old.
