The flooring looks nice I guess, the rest is of no interest at all. @ BH: there’s nothing worse than making the original features of a city or building seem out of place.

If the fresco had to stay then I would have designed the room to compliment the ceiling. That would be contextually balanced insted of contextually juxtaposed which makes the ceiling, original or not, look cheap and kitch. I'm guessing that the guys at APA hated having to design around that ceiling (I would) but working around original features is one of the more frustrating aspects of interior architecture. Maybe you could give more insight into this...since your so defensive! @BH

"The floor is great but fresco ceiling is kitsch" Erm..... as the text says its an original painted fresco ceiling! What would you have done, cover it up with white painted plasterboard? The store is in Milan, as in Milan, ITALY - heard of it? They're fond of a bit of history - nothing kitsch about it I'm afraid - simply contextual. @ bored…
