We showed you the office in our previous post. This is the room you cross to reach it.
The entrance hall of the Wimbledon Village house — the first impression everything else in the home is measured against, and the reason the office next door works the way it does.
Here, everything is light. Panelling sets the classical frame, and the floor is a marble mosaic laid in a lattice, so the eye starts moving before you do. Straight ahead, the staircase hall. To the right, the powder room. And directly off this room, one door into the office — dark oak, closed, the exact opposite of everything around it.
That contrast is the design. A guest arrives into something light, formal, almost ceremonial. Then a single door, and a room that closes around them. You feel the change before anyone has said a word.
Against the architecture, everything you can move is of now: lighting by Alexandre Biaggi, console by Herve Vanderstraeten, bench by Ingrid Donat, floor mosaic by Fantini Mosaici, vase by Fredrikson Stallard, artwork by .fontana_.
Three posts, one route — the plan, the hall, the office. A house is rarely a set of rooms. It’s an order you move through.
