Casa Amalfi

The east/west entrance axis was created by removing two-thirds of the old roofed terrace to provide a 22' cathedral ceiling that seems higher because of the dropped beams and pitched ceiling; the north/south axis was established by the towering fireplace and Juliet balcony. The perpendicular axes are augmented by lines of sight that run at 45 degree angles toward the master staircase on the north side and the family room/kitchen on the south side that begs the question “what lies beyond?� Curiosity compels the visitor to explore the surprises ahead. The before and after photos tell the story of Cinderella at the ball.
