MariLOFT is situated within a historic building in Castiglion Fiorentino, where a 50-square-meter space has been reconfigured into a small, contemporary loft. The project is built on contrast: between memory and modern living, and between the rigorous nature of the architectural shell and the freedom of the objects within it.

The space plays with compression and expansion. The architectural shell remains neutral, bright, and serene, while furnishings and objects introduce an explosion of color that breaks the shell's composure and establishes a new domestic identity.

Three large arches punctuate the sequence of rooms, creating an almost classical perspective. Aligned with them, a window at the far end opens the view to the landscape, transforming it into a living painting. However, this symmetry is deliberately disrupted by contemporary furnishings: soft shapes, saturated colors, and sculptural forms introduce rhythm, wit, and movement.

The double-height volume enhances the sense of space within the 50-square-meter footprint and accommodates a mezzanine sleeping area. Verticality thus becomes a tool to multiply the available space without fragmenting it, maintaining visual continuity between levels and allowing light to permeate the entire interior.

MariLOFT thrives on this constant dichotomy: a contemporary loft housed within a historic shell, the precision of geometry paired with the freedom of color, and a neutral backdrop contrasted by the expressive power of objects. It is a compact interior that manages to expand its boundaries through the interplay of proportions, perspective, and light.
