Many times, architectural design<\/strong><\/a> is truly enhanced by its surroundings and how it connects with the world around it. This is exactly the case for this Venetian Pied-\u00e0-Terre<\/strong>, where\u00a0French interior designer<\/a> Jacques Grange<\/em><\/span><\/strong>, created its modern interiors<\/strong><\/a> around the picture-postcard views.<\/p>\n

Like Canalettos come to life, the views dazzle from this Venice apartment<\/strong>. Owner Nikki McCullagh, a design enthusiast who lives between Australia and London, enlisted Jacques Grange<\/strong><\/em> to restore this piano nobile apartment in a small palazzo on the Grand Canal.<\/p>\n

\"Jacques<\/a>
The original Gothic mullion windows were retained and encased in new window frames that slide into the walls, preserving the view. The vintage chairs are Italian, the cocktail table is by FontanaArte, and the 1950s Angelo Lelli ceiling light is by Arredoluce.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
The 1950s chair is by Franco Albini for Poggi, the vintage pendant is by Max Ingrand for FontanaArte, the terrazzo flooring is original, and the walls are sheathed in custom Marmorino Venetian plaster.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He worked with Venice-based architect Barbara De Stefano<\/strong> to streamline the space, enhancing its breathtaking in three directions.\u00a0The gallery-like decor<\/strong><\/a> was inspired by the interiors of the Italian modernist Carlo Scarpa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The cocktail table is by Azucena, the Ignazio Gardella chairs for Gavina are in a C&C Milano linen, the vase is by \u00adAntonia Campi, and the artwork is by Michael Goldberg.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Milanese gallerist Sharon Goldreich selected several of the midcentury furnishings in the living room, including the 1950s Ico Parisi sofa and an Ignazio Gardella book\u00adcase for Azucena, which \u00addisplays ceramics by Bruno Gambone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI\u2019m passionate about art, design, and decor<\/em>,\u201d says McCullagh, who rents out the apartment when she isn\u2019t using it. \u201cAnd about the personal journey, one is afforded in the restoration of special historical spaces.<\/em>\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Under an original wood-beam ceiling, the iron bed and bronze mirrors are customs, the 1950s floor lamp is Italian, and the antique parquet flooring was reclaimed from a Venetian palazzo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The vanity, walls, and floor are in a Cremo Tirreno marble, the pattern of which reminded Grange of the waters of Venice; the sink fittings are by Dornbracht.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
