THE IVORY HOUSE

Design study — not presented as a completed installation.

Paris, France

Symmetrical Paris foyer with three descending elliptical crystal rings

Project Introduction

The Vision

Three elliptical crystal rings form a poised centrepiece for a symmetrical Parisian foyer, introducing layered brilliance while preserving the room’s serene proportions and softly tailored architectural character.

The Ivory House is envisioned as an exploration of symmetry and suspended geometry. Three elliptical rings align with the foyer axis, creating a luminous sequence that frames arrival without overwhelming the composed architectural setting.

Each tier is designed with a fine champagne-toned structure and closely set crystal elements. The overlapping ellipses create changing layers of transparency as the viewpoint shifts from the entrance to the adjoining rooms.

Architecture / 01

The Space

Balanced doorways, delicate mouldings and an understated ivory palette give the foyer its Parisian contemporary identity. The central volume calls for a statement with formal clarity, refined scale and sufficient openness to retain the room’s long sightlines.

Illumination / 02

Light in Architecture

The tiered arrangement concentrates light around the room’s centre while leaving the perimeter calm. Faceted crystals diffuse a warm glow across plaster details and stone flooring, reinforcing symmetry through reflection rather than strong contrast.
