Patio

Design Logic

  • Austerity: modest furniture, strong alignment.
  • Sightline: faith visible from the bed — ritual meets routine.

Read the room as a diagram of priorities.


Bottom Line

Not lavish, but intentional. The apartments speak of a ruler who aligned daily life with the basilica’s pulse.
