In Rome, in the Parioli district within walking distance of the Modern Art Gallery and Villa Borghese, in an elegant 1930s building, architect Emanuela Esposito has designed and furnished an eclectic and cosmopolitan home. Inspired by the ancient symbol of the PI, the sacred circle, or circle of life, the concept enhances its meaning of completeness, creating through a strong stylistic character, an imaginary line, a unique thread, the ends of which rejoin.

“It all started with the sculpture of the sacred circle,” the architect Emanuela Esposito explains, “which holds great significance for the owners. They asked me to develop the design around it. The sacred circle, embodying Confucian and Daoist principles, is where transformation occurs. Thus, the house’s design is conceptually circular. The kitchen, the heart of this magical place, becomes a space of reconnection. The layout flows from the entrance hall to the living and sleeping areas, returning to the kitchen. Rigorous yet functional, Varenna’s kitchen contrasts with the ethereal poetry of Matthijs Smilde’s photo.

Kitchen with gray-colored cabinets, also equipped with metallic American refrigerator and double oven. Attached to the central island is a wooden table with four white-colored chairs.

The 400-square-meter home is completed with the master bedroom, two guest rooms and a gymnasium, which also houses some artwork, in an ideal continuum with the concept’s philosophy.

“I love to create spaces that convey passions and emotions with a sensual soul,” says architect Esposito, “In this project, every detail was meticulously studied to achieve an oriental ideal of perfection”. Light, warm materials like sandblasted oak parquet, and cold ones like iron and glass guide us through a refined path between modern art and classical references. The oak parquet, designed in both plug pattern and hexagons, was crafted by artisans. Iron and stone add natural textures, with simple lines counterpointed by rich decor and art pieces.
