In the heart of La Pietà, one of the greenest and most peaceful residential districts of Prato, lies Casa GM, a private residence of approximately 360 square meters occupying the top floor of a historic 1920s building. The property, composed of three residential units, preserves the charm of early twentieth-century architecture, reinterpreted through a meticulous renovation that blends heritage and modern living.
Located on the third and top floor, the apartment stands out for its generous, light-filled spaces and its spectacular double-height living area, dominated by an open staircase leading to the habitable attic. Here, airy volumes and natural light take center stage, creating an atmosphere where comfort and harmony coexist effortlessly.
The main level features a large living room, a dining area, and a spacious kitchen, as well as a master suite with an en-suite bathroom, two single bedrooms, and a guest bathroom.
On the attic floor, a more intimate and relaxed space unfolds, hosting a second living room with a fireplace and TV area, a playroom, a guest bedroom with a private bathroom, and two recessed terraces overlooking the gentle hills surrounding Prato.The renovation was carried out with great attention to detail, respecting original materials while introducing refined contemporary touches. The solid wood parquet flooring has been carefully restored, becoming the thread that unites the various spaces. Pietra serena, a traditional Tuscan stone, has been used for the steps, the entrance, the open staircase, and the fireplace cladding, lending a sense of material balance and understated elegance.
A playful element enlivens the main living room: a colorful ball pit, designed as a play area for the owners’ child, yet conceived to transform in the future into a small indoor green oasis—a symbol of the home’s flexibility and evolving nature.
Casa GM stands as a refined example of how contemporary renovation can seamlessly
dialogue with architectural heritage, creating a living space that feels both timeless and
profoundly modern.
