radical transformation of an apartment in the heart of Turin: a new home for a young Sicilian couple. The owners brought with them a wealth of passions and interests that were translated into precise choices of color, geometry and volumes. Two personalities with commonalities and divergent points that came together in a coherent and lively mix. Virginia Lorello Virginia Lorello The palette of this project is defined by the perfect balance of the two owners’ tastes: one of the two has a preference for blue and cool tones, while the other favors terracotta and warm colors. A mix that, on paper, seemed impossible, but when well calibrated, becomes highly interesting and dynamic. Black adds character to the entire composition a... More

The project involves the complete renovation of a former industrial warehouse, located in an area of Milan undergoing a significant urban regeneration.The site boasts unique features, including elongated spaces that allow an uninterrupted line of sight and zenithal lighting provided by various skylights.  Francesco Dolfo The narrow and elongated nature of this space has guided the internal layout, creating an enfilade.In sequence, starting from the direct street entrance, there is a guest room primarily used as a studio, a corridor housing the main internal access, laundry, and a shared bathroom, leading to the main living area.  The latter consists of a kitchen with a central island and a spacious dining area that opens on...

The main theme of the renovation of this small apartment is rediscovery.In fact, during the demolition works, previously hidden elements such as the vaulted brick ceiling and the arches that characterize the living room came to light. The existing layout followed the typical ringhiera arrangement, with living and sleeping areas divided by the central core of services. Matteo Losurdo The project mainly focused on this core, significantly improving the distribution of spaces. Matteo Losurdo The real challenge was to create different moments and give dynamism to a relatively static layout. Matteo Losurdo Color becomes the main actor and is used in an architectural manner to give uniqueness and demarcate different areas. Ma... More

The project entails a complete renovation of a small apartment for a young professional. Simone Furiosi   The initial design approach involved the demolition of all existing walls that rigidly delineated the rooms.  Simone Furiosi Instead of doors, the spaces are now separated through ceiling lowerings, lines of color, and custom-made furniture.A perspective view encompasses the entire space in its entirety, from one facade to another.  Simone Furiosi Like small brushstrokes on a blank canvas, the color doesn’t define the main functions of the dwelling but rather the voids: the spaces traditionally considered liminal gain their own importance and become a series of chromatic and semantic references wi...

The original plan with living area, night area and attic was maintained but the previous unvarying appearance has been replaced by a journey along textures and colors.
