A very small apartment within a very “Milanese” building dated 1900. Two rooms plus a bath room, characterized by a narrow footprint compared to the quite high ceiling. Windows, doors, and above all the floor tiles, had finishes and materials survived to another century: something precious to save as a resource for the new inhabitants of this space. The strong identity of the interiors and the peculiarity of the narrow high section, gave the chance for a minimum but very significant intervention. We tought it was only necessary to unveil the hidden potential of the space, leaving almost untouched all the rest. Nothing melanchonical, but also no obsession for contemporarity. Adding a new layer to the exiguos surface availble in the house was necessary. Making the trajectory to reach it architectonically visible, was all we needed to do. A new thin wireframe wrapping the bodies while approching to “+1 level”: a suspended night area inside the old house.
