This apartment located in the historic center of upper Ragusa, is a small portion of an elegant building, located at the intersection of two streets; the result of a renovation that has consistently changed the distribution and functional structure, this house, with a net area of ​​115 square meters, is spread over two levels around a central double-volume space; this volume, the very heart of the house, flooded with natural light (coming both from the side and from above), contains a slender staircase with an iron structure that allows access to the bedrooms on the first floor.
The choice of using a few materials (oak, iron, plaster), all of a light color, is aimed at amplifying the perception of light inside the rooms, which here, as in almost all buildings located in the historic center, are constrained by their modest size. of the existing openings on the bearing walls.
