Lake Como Luxury Interior Designer

Lake Como is one of the most beautiful places on earth — a deep glacial lake in the foothills of the Alps, north of Milan, whose shores have been lined with aristocratic villas since the Roman era. The lake's dramatic topography — mountains plunging directly into water, terraced gardens climbing the steep shore, and the extraordinary quality of the diffuse alpine light — creates a residential environment of incomparable natural beauty. The historic villas of Bellagio, Cernobbio, Tremezzo, and Varenna — Villa del Balbianello, Villa d'Este, Villa Carlotta — are among the most architecturally magnificent private and semi-private estates in Italy.

Owning and designing a villa on Lake Como is among the most culturally significant residential acts available to the world's UHNWI community. These are not merely beautiful houses; they are historically freighted properties that have been visited by Napoleon, Liszt, Verdi, and dozens of European monarchs; that contain frescos by masters of the Lombard Renaissance; that sit within formal Italian gardens of centuries-old planning. Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors approaches the Lake Como commission with the specific depth of Italian architectural and horticultural knowledge that these extraordinary properties demand.

Kenneth Bordewick's design approach for Lake Como begins with the garden: in the Italian villa tradition, the house and the garden are conceived as a single architectural entity, with the interior rooms as the enclosed continuation of the terraced outdoor environment. The visual connection between the sala frescata and the lemon tree terrace, between the loggia overlooking the lake and the formal parterre below, is the defining design experience of the Como villa. BHLI designs this experience with full appreciation of its specific historical and sensory character.

For Lake Como's modern UHNWI owners — the technology billionaires, media executives, and international business figures who have purchased historic villas and need to bring them to contemporary luxury standards — Beverly Hills Luxury Interiors provides the rare service of a designer who can honor the extraordinary historical significance of these properties while delivering the practical luxury — integrated technology, private wellness suites, contemporary kitchen environments, air conditioning systems concealed within historic fabric — that modern occupation requires.
