This media display by Presotto blends a wall mountable bookshelf with a TV unit. A sophisticated arrangement of elements, finishes can be seen in matte marrone daino lacquer. Sliding doors in "aged" oak and lacquered glass are incorporated into the design.

The clients wanted us to create a space that was open feeling, with lots of storage, room to entertain large groups, and a warm and sophisticated color palette. In response to this, we designed a layout in which the corridor is eliminated and the experience upon entering the space is open, inviting and more functional for cooking and entertaining. In contrast to the public spaces, the bedroom feels private and calm tucked behind a wall of built-in cabinetry. Lincoln Barbour

Arriving guests pass through a small garden before the front door opens to reveal the dramatic view. The main living area connects onto the covered porch and through to the kitchen and small den. A varied ceiling form and staggered exterior wall helps the large, informal space feel comfortable for two people or a large gathering. The textures of painted brick and rustic wall planks offset the warm tones of the vintage timbers and wood flooring.

2011 Dream Room Winner On the windows we used cornice boards covered in a damask patterned fabric and attached honey-colored silk drapery panels inspired by grand European pillars. These treatments were ideal for framing the picturesque outside view. We selected a luxurious, golden-colored sofa with a large tone-on-tone damask pattern, an upholstered armchair and a fauteuil, creating a sophisticated, old world feel. A dark wooden cocktail table and side tables with cabriole legs completed the seating arrangement. We chose a variety of accessories in rich gold-tones, accented by robin’s egg blues with gray undertones and terra cotta shades, echoing the colors of many Italian scenes.
