18 photos

Far from pressing down, a black painted ceiling seems to recede: the dark plane blurs its own edges, while everything pale beneath it sharpens. It goes over bedrooms, dining rooms, offices and a conference room. Below, white wire chairs, light wood cabinetry and pink chinoiserie wallpaper all gain from the contrast.
