Punto Zero has designed the project for the renovation of an apartment in a 17th Century building in the Monti neighborhood. An intervention that highlights it with a contemporaneity touch, not forgetting its history.

The architects have worked on the existing sequence of the three spaces the house is shaped in, creating a new one with a clear atmosphere, enlighted by block color accents, which presents "two different souls: the bright and open ‘public’ house, overlooking a small street in the neighborhood, and the most intimate, ‘private’ house, which pertains to small windows on the internal courtyards and the roofs of the district. “The two houses remain in visual and spatial connection each other " - as the architects explain.

Thus, the first living room houses a pink and blue capsule conceived as a reading corner, along with a wall wardrobe and a shades of green small guest bathroom.

Continuing,  the dining room shows a floor redesigned with the original “cementine" reassembled according to the new plant, which then leave room for the monochromatic resin, to mark the transition to the kitchen, framed by a glass passage.

Two totems in cobalt blue that contain fridge and oven - jokingly called "Scilla and Cariddi" - welcome us at the entry.

Last of the sequence, you meet the bedroom, an essential space that embraces the bed area, and a closet that divides it from the en suite bathroom.

To underline the link with the dense history of the former architecture, some original elements, such as floors, ceilings and doors have been recovered and reintegrated in the project, and put in dialogue with new, plastics and chrome presences  in a vibrant amalgam that echoes the ironic, excessive, romantic and nostalgic cinema of Almodovàr”.
