This project marked my first design venture while studying in Florence, where we were tasked with designing both the exterior and interior of a villa. The only requirement was that we could choose our location and bring our own personal style to the design. I decided to blend Mediterranean influences with a distinct Italian flair, creating a space that felt both timeless and vibrant.

Color played a central role in my design, with intentional pops of bold hues throughout the space. However, I made sure to balance this with neutral tones to maintain harmony and sophistication. For the finishes, I selected Sherwin Williams paints and incorporated Jeff Shelton tiles, which added texture and character to the villa’s overall aesthetic
