Chromatica

Intervening within the historic fabric of Padua requires a sophisticated mediation between the layers of memory and the desire for contemporary domesticity. This renovation project, developed over a surface area of 75 sqm, undertakes a distributive overhaul to maximize spatial usability, responding to the desires of an eclectic clientele—whose taste ranges from Pop vibrancy to refined retro suggestions. Caption The rewriting of the home finds its starting point in the definition of the horizontal plane. The choice of oak flooring laid in a Hungarian herringbone pattern is not incidental, but constitutes the generating matrix of the entire intervention: a strong and elegant geometric layout that, recovering the tradition of histo...

Sectilis

In the center of Treviso, the interior design of the Sectilis penthouse is configured as an exercise in spatial rewriting that works on the balance between the geometric rigor of fixed elements and the superficial treatment of finishes. The intervention, developed over an internal surface of 122 sqm, addresses two distinct compositional themes: the management of long wall curtains in the living area and the geometric resolution of a sleeping area with an irregular floor plan. The living area is conceived as a fluid continuum, unified on the ground by sand-colored cement resin flooring that acts as a neutral and bright horizontal plane. Set upon this base is the project's true organizing device: ash wood. Moving away from the logic of mass-... More

Operaprima

The interior design of this penthouse is defined through an investigation into the continuity of living, where matter is not intended as a simple covering, but as an architectural device capable of enhancing and ordering the space. The intervention explores the theme of the open plan, replacing traditional wall partitions with a system of functional backdrops. The goal is to create an environment where the boundary between different domestic functions is perceived as a fluid transition, orchestrated by the tectonics of fixed elements. The expressive lexicon is dominated by research into the potential of natural stone. Travertine becomes the generating element of the surfaces, explored through different processing logics that change its tac... More

Borgo Banditaccia

Set along the ridge of a Maremma hillside, between two valleys and in visual dialogue with the distant fortress of Magliano in Tuscany, Borgo Banditaccia is restored as a unified organism. A rural settlement that shaped the agricultural landscape for over a century, later reduced to a fragmented presence, now re-emerges through a project that weaves together architecture, landscape, and the human dimension of living. Andrea Ceriani The intervention is not conceived as a simple renovation, but as a process of reconciliation between rural memory and a contemporary way of inhabiting. The project takes as its generative core the only authentic remnants of the original complex—the vaulted cart tracks and the compact northern volume&m... More

HIGH-END REFURBISHMENT IN KNIGHTSBRIDGE.

Our UHNI client purchased a grand 600 square metre maisonette in Cadogan Square, Knighstbrige, which is one of the most desirable luxury residential addresses in London. It was a Grade II listed building that required significant renovation works.  The area of Cadogan Garden is known for its exclusivity and noble red-brick buildings. The square was built around the 1870s to 1880s, mostly on the grounds of the well known Prince's Club. The main first floor of this Grade listed apartment was spread over two fronts, with an outstanding full view overlooking the Cadogan Garden Square through 6 historic shuttered double French doors. The client also purchased a basement flat that had been unrenovated for over 50 years. The intention was to... More

Villa Fidji, Cap d'Antibes

Contemporary Warmth  Nestled within the heart of the Cap d’Antibes, with the sea in sight, a once outdated neo-Provençal villa with old fashioned balustrades has been entirely rejuvenated by the Cannes based architecture firm Caprini & Pellerin. The villa now boasts a contemporary style elevated by Mediterranean architectural influences. The villa Fidji is now a stunning contemporary refurbishment.  The property has been renovated from its foundations upwards. Today, its beauty lies within the angled form of its bare concrete envelope - fringed with an outside passageway, sitting atop a basement spread out facing the bay, bedecked with sun-drenched stones. Out went the tiled roof, replaced by a planted roof terrace, u... More
