Project Story
For a distinguished diplomat with homes across the globe, the ultimate desire was to create a personal haven in Egypt—a residence on the Nile that would blend timeless elegance with a touch of Parisian chic. This was to be more than just a house; it was to be a statement of quiet luxury and cultural sophistication.
The story begins in the reception area, designed to feel like a classical European apartment. A striking black-and-white marble floor sets a grand stage, complemented by intricate plaster moldings and the soft glow of ceiling coves. This classical grandeur is balanced with modern comfort, creating a space that is both impressive and welcoming.
The palette is a refined symphony of crisp whites, warm off-whites, and tonal greys, all enriched by touches of polished gold, antique mirrors, and deep walnut. Rich materials like white marble, fluted mirrors, and velvet upholstery add layers of texture and warmth.
While the public areas celebrate this classical sophistication, the private bedrooms transition into serene, modern retreats designed for rest. Every detail, from the curated furniture to the custom finishes, was tailored to the client’s stature and lifestyle. The result is a quiet yet powerful expression of refined taste—a perfect French-inspired sanctuary on the Nile for a global citizen to call home.
