Throughout the house, there are stained glass windows inspired by
medieval Moorish designs. Lutens was fixated on getting every detail
right: It took a team of 10 workers about seven years to complete one
tiny room, a domed sitting area next to the hammam. He wonders whether,
like a writer who’s terrified of finishing his novel, he has sometimes
invented excuses to stave off the project’s inevitable end. “There are
times where you just have to be completely occupied,” he says,
“otherwise you fall apart.”
