Warm Welcome
Foyer

Blending contemporary art and sculpture with more traditional pieces, Sam West and her design team at Ladlow’s Fine Furniture were able to achieve the goal of any entry way: to be a welcoming—yet intriguing—space that gives guests a taste of what’s to come. West says this combo of contemporary and traditional resulted in an almost Roman-like look, and the space is rounded out with horn lamps and a large console table that repeats the medallion pattern seen in the flooring.

Apart from melding two varying styles, the foyer also features another eye-popping juxtaposition. “We wanted to have an invitation up to the second area,” says West, referring to the platform between the first and second stories. “We [did] some window coverings to soften the window and the granite rock on the outside. It [gives it] a softer edge so you have that difference in texture between the hard and the soft.” —M.L.
