From under your feet to over your head, every architectural component has the potential to be the highlight of a building —especially ceilings and stairs.
Remembering the master Luigi Caccia Dominioni, who sadly passed away, with a recent article published on Domus for his 100th birthday, when we met him at his home to peruse the details of some of his buildings that have become immaculate examples of good building practice.

Detail from the chimneypiece by Luke Lightfoot in the Paper Room at Claydon House, Buckinghamshire. Claydon was built by Ralph, 2nd earl Verney (1712-91), between 1754 and 1791. Work began around 1757, extending and completely remodelling an earlier sixteenth-century mansion. At this stage the new house was conceived as a rectangular block with three substantial reception rooms (the North Hall, The Saloon, and Library - originally a withdrawing room) and a suite of bedrooms above. It is this phase of construction that survives today. The first phase of work in the late 1750s was directed by Luke Lightfoot, a master carver in wood and stone. However, following disagreements between patron and craftsman, Sir Thomas Robinson took over direction of the project in 1768. Robinson extended this block with a vast domed rotunda (which served as entrance hall) and a wing that balanced the earlier one but which contained a ballroom. This gigantic enlargement of the scheme, which had contributed to Lord Verney's ruin, was demolished by his niece, Mary, Baroness Fermanagh, following his bankruptcy and death in 1791.The Paper Room on the first floor was originally a bedroom, perhaps 'My Lord's Bed Chamber'. The carved woodwork is by Lightfoot. The chimneypiece is carved with a frieze containing a triple-arched Gothic building, and, at its peripheries, shell curves and flourishes of foliage.
