Double-Height Lobby with Marble Staircase
About Lobby Area Interiors
Common questions from homeowners.
It is built as a double-height space around a marble staircase with a slim glass railing, and a branching glass-globe chandelier hangs down through the open void. The tall walls and the open middle give it a real sense of scale.
It is very much usable. There is a sofa lounge on one side, a study nook with a bookshelf and desk, and cane armchairs by the garden window. So it works as a sitting and reading area, not just a walkway.
The walls mix marble panels, ribbed vertical panelling and thin gold inlay strips, with decorative metal wall art and a sunburst mirror as accents. It keeps the large surfaces interesting instead of flat.
The main light is the glass-globe chandelier dropping through the void, backed up by hidden cove lighting, recessed spotlights and small pendants and sconces. The layers make the double-height area feel warm rather than cold.
Yes, if you have the height for it, a marble stair with a glass railing and a lounge around it can be designed to fit. Share your stair and floor layout with the designer to work it out.
