We are in an 80-square-meter apartment located in the heart of a charming 1930s building. Giulia Costa Giulia Costa Giulia Costa The renovation aimed to enhance the existing architecture without altering its identity: existing doors and plaster decorations add a timeless touch of elegance, while the new resin floors delicately integrate into the space, respecting the color palette of the original cement tiles. Giulia Costa Giulia Costa Giulia Costa The living room and kitchen, initially separate, have been combined to create a spacious and bright living area, marked only by a portal that frames the two spaces. In the kitchen, the columns are stepping back in order to highlight the working area. The black quar... More

Renovation on the top floor of a residence overlooking the Marche hills. On the west side, where there was a large balcony, two large windows were opened to enjoy the view. By "emptying" the attic, the living-dining area was enhanced by enriching it with the installation of a modern fireplace carved into the wall; a row of storage units between the living and sleeping areas simulates a real spine, which is the origin of the interior distribution. Simone Tommasini Simone Tommasini Simone Tommasini Simone Tommasini The resin floor blends in with the outdoor floor of the long balcony in a draining version. A 6kw photovoltaic system powered by heat pump and induction cooktop complete the intervention. Simone Tommasini... More

As in a bottle of water. In the Milanese municipality of San Donato, a new bathroom comes to life in every sense of the word. Daniel Civetta The new concept is based on the materiality of its coatings, and the indissoluble relationship between light and water. Natural architectural elements capable of enhancing shapes and, above all, colors. Daniel Civetta Originally, our client's request was to satisfy different needs, denied by the presence of a bathtub and furnishing elements; which were dated and bulky, but at the same time functional. Aimed at storing every necessary accessory inside this environment. Daniel Civetta The new shower is the design fulcrum in our intervention, it contains elements and sensations within i... More

From the long and passionate search for a beautiful property in the upper Valdarno countryside near Arezzo, the project to renovate two buildings for a couple of Clients developed: one, larger, called the 'villa' and the other smaller, called the 'barn’. The 'villa' provides the living spaces and the master and children's bedrooms, while the 'barn,' with its volumetric autonomy becomes the delightful guest house. studio Bombace If on the outside the local superintendence rightly requires the reconstruction of stylistic features and the use of local materials, on the inside the absence of special constraints allows the release of the Clients' desire for the modern, with which the careful balancing act between modern and rural def...

Although it is located in one of the most prominent sites in Koper, this apartment was in extremely poor condition when we first saw it. The building was built in the early 70s and since then not much has changed; the former windows were inappropriate by today's standards, the lack of a (efficient) heating solution was still a big problem, the floor plan wasn’t appropriate for a contemporary lifestyle, … After a few meetings with the client, it became clear that a complete renovation was the only option.    To meet the client’s needs, we transformed this two-bedroom apartment into a one bedroom home, with a large living area that combines the kitchen, the dining room and the living room. This part of the apart... More

Interior SS is a restyling aimed at simplifying, uniformizing and visualizing the ground floor of an existing house, last restored in the late 1990s, which had layers of very diverse overlapping additions. The presence and the particular location of strong structural elements - such as the staircase, the central column - and visible parts from previous renovation projects characterize the space. The existing house is located in a residential district in a small town near Bassano del Grappa at the foot of the Pre – Alpi Venete by the shore of the Brenta river. The project wants to create a new and own identity providing a free, fluid and luminous space on the ground floor in which the architectural elements, added and eliminated, adapt to th... More
