Apartment renovation

Area
101m2

The renovation project for a couple of designers’ penthouse apartment is based on a rationalization of the original plant to produce new wider spaces, in exchange for reducing the number of rooms. The succession of visuals in the interior is considered at all times so that they have continuity in the exterior of the house, thus appropriating each perspective on the part of the surrounding urban landscape. Circulation surfaces are also reduced and rooms are connected through movable walls.

The materiality of the finishes creates an ideal relaxing atmosphere to contribute to family life. Wooden materials have been chosen for floors, furniture and coverings to introduce a natural texture into the set, which combines with the neutrality of white paint on walls and ceilings. This material support is used so that the users of the house update in their own way the decorative elements according to their needs.
