A split-level section is employed to bring together old and new, and provides enjoyable vistas and connections between living, working and eating. The volumes created are celebrated by boldly sculpted ceilings that define space with the light.
The limited existing apertures in the ancient walls are similarly sculpted on the inside to draw the eye to the magnificent views. This an ongoing project in which a skilful series of architectural insertions enable, inspire and respond to the making of and thinking about art.
