'Everything in this room is tongue-in-cheek.' The laminate fireplace contains a video of a burning log. The tiles on the floor, reminiscent of hopscotch squares, actually represent the elements of nature in their color scheme: white for air, red and yellow for fire, blue for water, and gray for earth. Celia (Vogel) and Mario (Mulea) wanted to create an emotional dissonance by using unexpected textures and patterns to generate tactile and visual excitement, hence this bath functions as a living area. Celia says 'It's a sybaritic environment imbued with contemporary pleasures.'
