Honoring the home\u2019s historic roots while updating its interior, the designers created a compelling contrast of old and new. The ancient architectural envelope now plays host to a minimalist composition of contemporary furnishings and lighting \u2014including several Vibia fixtures\u2014 arrayed against a backdrop of crisp white walls.<\/p>\n

On the wall ascending the stairs to the residence\u2019s entrance hangs a striking installation of the Set<\/strong><\/a> lamp by Xucl\u00e0<\/a>. A customised composition of rectangular pieces that both generates and reflects light, it casts elegant rays of light and shadow against the blank canvas of wall like a piece of dramatic d\u00e9cor. A modern sculptural counterpoint to the rounded archway below it, its angular form echoes the slanted railing of the staircase.<\/p>\n

Suspended in the lofty double-height living area, Arik Levy<\/a>\u2019s Wireflow<\/strong><\/a> draws the eye upwards. Formed of slim black cables that provide a graphic punch within the room\u2019s pale palette, Wireflow<\/a><\/strong> is a cutting-edge take on the classic chandelier. Its airy, three-dimensional silhouette offers an unobstructed view of the illuminated staircase and original tromp l\u2019oeil fresco that borders it.<\/p>\n

Levy<\/a>\u2019s futuristic Wireflow Lineal<\/strong><\/a> provides a pleasing juxtaposition with the traditional wooden table and chairs in the dining room. Suspended in tandem like a transparent curtain tipped with LED terminals, its web of fine cables adds a geometric feel to the space while picking up the dark tones of the wall map behind it.<\/p>\n

Brightening the master bedroom upstairs is the Pin<\/strong><\/a> sconce designed by Ichiro Iwasaki<\/a>. Complementing the room\u2019s quiet colours and streamlined sensibility, its slender lines stretch outwards from a bold circular base. Its tips radiate in a gleaming nimbus of ambient light, subtly doubling as abstract art amid the minimalist d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n
