Casa DP is located in a prestigious building of the 1960s in the inner ring road of the Navigli canals in Milan. The access of the building is from a central artery characterized by the usual Milanese dynamism.

The DP house is located on the third floor of the internal part of the building and the windows overlook the two silent inner courtyards, in particular, the south-west one hosts a beautiful garden, with a rich vegetation and leafy trees. Before the intervention, the space was used as offices served by a central corridor.

For the future life of the project would have been necessary in addition to the living space, four bedrooms, one double and two for each of the girls and the guest room for the grandparents.

We decided to break down all the walls and symbolically avoided reconstructing them.

The internal partitions, all in lacquered wood with closets and doors, divide the north side of the rooms from the south side characterized by the terrace and garden side, bright and completely connected with the living space.

The kitchen and the study, convertible into a guest room, can be easily closed thanks to the large sliding doors, but they can usually remain open, allowing to the main space to have always with a wide view, enjoyable right from the entrance.

The project is completed with the combination of colors and materials inspired by the architecture of Milan in the 60s, such as the building in question. Also the nature has been a reference that in the center of Milan is so beautiful to enjoy as in the home thanks to the light and to the foliage always in motion.
