Why the name Cimbrone?
After Villa Cimbrone, a beautiful medieval palazzo overlooking the Amalfi Coast in Ravello, Italy.
Originally built in the 11th century and then extensively remodelled in the early 20th century by Englishman Ernest William Beckett, the house embodies classical elegance while the glorious landscaping features an extraordinary collection of wisteria, rose gardens, fountains, statues, temples and pavilions.
At the cliff edge sits the Terrazzo dell’lnfinito (Terrace of Infinity), lined with a collection of Statuary marble busts overlooking the blue Mediterranean waters 1,200 feet below, offering the most beautiful and breath-taking panoramic views imaginable. It combines a truly awe inspiring yet natural setting, together with the human artistry of Italian and English architecture.
Quite simply, we feel it is one of the most beautiful and inspiring places on earth and we aim to bring an element of that to the projects we work on.
“I am going to make everything around me beautiful.
That will be my life.”
