Part 7/11:
Inside, Maxwell Estate prioritized spaciousness, meticulous materials, and artful decoration. The grand foyer featured a double-height elliptical staircase adorned with ironwork railings, set against colorful 18th-century-inspired murals that decorated the walls and ceiling—highlighting Platt’s penchant for integrating fine art with architecture.
The formal dining room and adjoining spaces reflected consistent luxury: richly carved wood trim, patterned marble fireplaces, lush Oriental carpets, and silk pendant lamps. Oversized French doors bathed the interiors in natural light and offered seamless transitions to the outdoor gardens.
