It’s found in how cool limestone flooring provides a foundation for spare arrangements of contemporary furniture or the careful placement of brass lighting. This approach is less about decoration and more about creating spaces with a rational purpose, offering a composed perspective on the capital and a new way to inhabit its structure.
