Renovation of a penthouse in central Milan. Complete demolition of all walls and complete redesign of the layout.
All rooms overlooking the terrace were opened up and extended by the width of the old corridor. The sleeping area, consisting of two double bedrooms and two bathrooms—one private and one shared—is delimited by an L-shaped volume painted in teal and blue.
As in most of the studio's projects, circularity is the theme, which in this case is evident throughout the entrance, corridor, living room, and bedroom/study. The latter is a transitional space separated from both the entrance and the living area by floor-to-ceiling pocket doors that create an open-plan space, or completely enclosed when necessary.
A generous laundry room and a small guest bathroom complete the floor plan.
The living area, consisting of a living room, dining area, and kitchen with an island, occupies all the rooms overlooking the large terrace that runs the length of the house, facing northeast.
All the doors in the sleeping area have been positioned in line with the external openings on the south side of the house in order to bring light into the living area which only faces north.
