Casa F+G: Home sweet home - Florence 2011

The intervention concerns the full regeneration of ground floor apartment belonging to an early '900 building, characterized by a long corridor that disengaged two bedrooms and a bathroom, leaving the kitchen and the livingroom at oppposite ends of the apartment. The project proposal revolutioned the planimetric layout making the bedrooms adjacent - supplied with a new bathroom – and creating a wider living area with direct access to the private garden. New countertops allowed the housing of the primary lighting source for each space, completed by branded lighting pieces. The final result is an architectural language rich of coontaminations between old and modern style, reinforced by the use of innovative materials, such as resin, together with more traditional ones. An original durmast flooring in planks of 25cm has been layed throught the whole flat, whereas porcelain gres in various dimensions has been used for the bathrooms. This style contamination is visible in the choice of the furniture, which alternates modern elements defined by clean lines to vintage and decò pieces together with custom made ones.

Casa M: Chromatic lines - Florence 2014

The apartment, one of a kind, is located in the heart of the city centre and it is part of a wide intervention of renovation: what it used to be a decaying crafts building has been transformed into several flats with a modern style. Protected from chaos and loud noises, this urban interior takes us to a “different place”, far from the idea of Florence we usually have, a northern european space, defined by public and private gardens.The property was handed to us at raw structural state, giving great freedom to the client to adapt it to his idea of a space to enjoy with guests and where to organize parties. Through little planimetric alterations, we created a wide living area, with spaces that fluidly succeed one another, composed by a double livingroom overlooking the garden, then a kitchen and a diningroom. Two bedrooms with private bathroom complete the apartment, together with a service area and a courtyard.The flat's pivoting room is the kitchen which links the diningroom to the living area, and from which it is possible to chat at the garden's sight. The spaces are flooded with light passing through the wide glasses. The fluidity of the space is marked on the floor by a guide made of eco-resin that draws several visual get-aways. The floor so fragmented is decked with a by porcelain gres 20x120 cm disposed according to the resin guides. This path leads the guest from the entrance to the garden, allowing him to measure the whole household. The finishes are rich and curated to the finest detail: slaked for the diningroom and the master bedroom, resin coating the two bathrooms. An array of furniture has been designed specifically for each space, as the master bathroom cabinet, resin coated in plum, or as the entrance cabinet finished with gold leaf. Special attention was paid to the lighting of each area with LED-strips dimmable, branded lighting pieces and scenic lights to exalt the space. The choice of RGB LED components further underlines the household conceptual project.

CASA S: The flat on the roofs - Florence 2016

The Studio intervention aimed at giving value to the potential of this little apartment located at the top floor of a typical building of Florence's historical centre. The household was found in really bad conditions and needed some consolidation and retrofit works of the existing systems. We architecturally recovered what was already existing and we mixed it with modern elements and materials. From the apartment one can enjoy the view over Florence's roofs together with some magical views such as of the synagogue framed in the bedroom window. Once entered into the flat, a staircase leads to a short corridor that divides the livingroom from the transitory diningroom, then the bathroom and the bedroom. Walking up a few steps from the diningroom we have access to the small kitchen that has been refurbished in a more functional way than the existing one. The planimetric modifications and the demolition of the decaying trellis allowed us to bring the original roofing back to light and to realize a mezzanine overlooking the livingroom. The use of modern materials such as iron and of innovative finishes make the project intervention stand out within the whole perception of the apartment. Special attention has been paid to the lighting solutions, creating versatile illumination for different situations. Florence's skyline is symbolically recalled in the bedroom by a wine-coloured trace that overhangs the bed headboard.
