class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;font-size:1em;--fontSize:25;line-height:var(--awb-typography1-line-height);\">Our Approach<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><h2 data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1243\"><strong data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1243\">Baroque Aesthetic with Contemporary Elements<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1244\" data-end=\"1303\">We preserved the characteristic Baroque vocabulary through:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1334\">Carved solid-wood details<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1334\">Wall mouldings and gypsum ceiling rosettes<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1334\">Soft fabrics and classic furniture lines<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1334\">Gold metallic accents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1454\" data-end=\"1601\">These elements were then integrated into a cleaner, more contemporary composition with minimal lighting, a refined palette and balanced geometries.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1603\" data-end=\"1865\">White was chosen as the dominant colour of the apartment, bringing light, clarity and a neutral backdrop that highlights the decorative details. Gold accents in the bathrooms and selected interior elements reference Baroque luxury without overwhelming the space.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1872\" data-end=\"1894\"><strong data-start=\"1876\" data-end=\"1894\">Ceiling Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1895\" data-end=\"1927\">Across the ceilings we combined:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1931\" data-end=\"1966\">Gypsum rosettes and ornate motifs<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1931\" data-end=\"1966\">Modern light fixtures<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1931\" data-end=\"1966\">Concealed lighting and spotlights to create layered illumination that highlights detail without exaggeration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"2112\" data-end=\"2159\"><strong data-start=\"2116\" data-end=\"2159\">The Kitchen as a Central Design Element<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2160\" data-end=\"2453\">The kitchen was crafted from solid carved wood, maintaining the classical character of the home.<br data-start=\"2256\" data-end=\"2259\" \/>A gold-finished wine rack adds a discreet sense of luxury, while a window seat incorporated beneath the kitchen window creates a comfortable reading nook, enhancing both functionality and charm.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2460\" data-end=\"2500\"><strong data-start=\"2464\" data-end=\"2500\">Bathrooms: Contrast &amp; Atmosphere<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"2503\" data-end=\"2606\"><strong data-start=\"2503\" data-end=\"2525\">The white bathroom<\/strong> features calm marble textures and clean surfaces that evoke clarity and light.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2503\" data-end=\"2606\"><strong data-start=\"2609\" data-end=\"2630\">The dark bathroom<\/strong> adopts a bolder aesthetic, using black marble effects, vertical fluted panels and metal framing to create a contemporary, scenographic contrast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"2782\" data-end=\"2825\"><strong data-start=\"2786\" data-end=\"2825\">Bedrooms with a Theatrical Presence<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2826\" data-end=\"2895\">The master bedroom was composed around a striking visual arrangement:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"2899\" data-end=\"2932\">A deep green theatrical curtain<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2899\" data-end=\"2932\">A tall Baroque headboard with gold detailing<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2899\" data-end=\"2932\">Slim pendant lights framing the bed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3023\" data-end=\"3114\">This combination creates an environment with a dramatic, yet refined and elegant character.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3121\" data-end=\"3142\"><strong data-start=\"3125\" data-end=\"3142\">Outdoor Space<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3143\" data-end=\"3342\">The balcony was designed with stone elements, vertical fencing lines and integrated lighting.<br data-start=\"3236\" data-end=\"3239\" \/>A planter with decorative panels and mouldings continues the interior aesthetic into the outdoor space.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element \"
