What was the brief?

Located in one of the most beautiful residential neighborhoods of Palermo, the project is the result of merging two apartments to create a single large residence that fully meets the clients' initial requests. From the entrance, one can access the living area via a hallway, featuring a large open space with a sizable kitchen, dining area, and lounge. Here, the carefully combined finishes create an inviting atmosphere, encouraging the enjoyment of the various functions. What were the key challenges? One of the main challenges the designers faced was the presence of a typical 1980s structuralsystem. The reduced ceiling height led to design choices that hide the structural grid completely, using coverings for the pillars and plasterboard ceilings for the beams. The technical systems, designed to be almost invisible, required meticulous attention to detail to integrate seamlessly within the spaces.

What materials did you choose and why?

The design intervention stems from the desire to create a refined combination of contemporary aesthetics and geometric rigor. Thanks to the double exposure, the rooms are flooded with natural light, highlighting the dark wood and natural oak finishes present in the living area. The kitchen, characterized by a striking island with a black Marquina marble finish, acts as the heart of the space, creating a striking contrast throughout the environment and offering a thoughtful mix of elegance and functionality.
