The Art of Detail: Inside Zafira at Crystal Solana
A touch of English elegance at Zafira
Zafira expresses the elegance of an English home through thoughtfully composed interiors, from bespoke marble floor patterns and a crystal chandelier created to complement the soaring entrance hall to the gold signature on an Artist Edition bathroom basin. Each element is carefully selected, bringing beauty and harmony to the home.
Designed by PIA Interior, the Zafira show residence at Crystal Solana embodies the concept of timeless contemporary. Classic furnishings, graceful proportions and considered decorative details recall the refinement of a traditional English residence, while light, airy spaces lend themselves to contemporary living. The atmosphere is distinguished yet warm, offering an inviting setting for both entertaining guests and enjoying quiet moments with family.
Look closer, and the home’s character emerges through the beauty of each piece and the thoughtful balance between them.
The art of marble pattern design
The marble floor in Zafira’s entrance hall features a bespoke pattern. Each piece is cut to shape using waterjet technology before being carefully assembled into the finished design.
Precise cutting and placement ensure that the pattern flows seamlessly. Its beauty lies in the overall composition, the natural veining of the marble and the neatly finished joints between each piece.
The staircase and primary bathroom feature White Venus marble, with an ivory-white background and natural grey veining that lend the spaces a soft, light feel. Using the same marble across these areas creates a harmonious interior, while the unique patterns of each slab give it an individual character.
A crystal chandelier brings elegance to the entrance hall
A genuine crystal chandelier forms the centrepiece of Zafira’s double-height entrance hall. Custom-made to suit the scale of the space, its design complements the marble floor and surrounding interiors, creating a sense of English grandeur from the moment you arrive.
Tall windows welcome natural light and frame views of the garden, lending the hall an airy, inviting feel. The setting balances grandeur with warmth, offering a gracious welcome to visiting guests.
Commissioning the chandelier specifically for the hall allows its size, design and placement to be carefully considered. The result is a piece that brings the surrounding elements together in a harmonious composition.
Artistry on a basin
In Zafira’s powder room, a basin from the Kohler Artist Editions collection bears the gold signature of David Kohler. This distinctive detail invites a closer look, reflecting the refined taste and care behind the selection of decorative pieces throughout the home.
A basin bearing the same signature also features in the primary bathroom, while another powder room is graced with the Empress Bouquet pattern. Each choice lends its setting an individual character while remaining in harmony with the home’s elegant interiors.
At Zafira, basins are chosen with the same consideration as a fine piece of furniture. Form, pattern and the relationship with surrounding materials are thoughtfully balanced with everyday practicality, bringing moments of beauty to daily life.
Details that reflect personal taste
Patterned marble, a bespoke crystal chandelier and thoughtfully selected bathroom fixtures bring English charm to Zafira. Each element has its own distinctive beauty, coming together to create an elegant, harmonious interior.
The show residence also offers inspiration for homeowners to discover the details they love. Through Crystal Solana’s Bespoke Living approach, homeowners can consult the design team on materials, bathroom fixtures and decorative finishes that reflect their personal taste and suit the way their family lives.
That inspiration may begin with the natural veining of stone, the sparkle of crystal or the pattern on a favourite everyday piece. Thoughtfully brought together, these preferences give a home a character that reflects its owners, making beauty a cherished part of daily life.
