Renovation of apartament in the center of Milano

Located in an historical building in the center of Milan, this apartment
was composed of wide rooms overlooking the inner courtyard. A new
mezzanine divides vertically the interior space, leaving a full-height
portion by the imposing windows and making the entire space articulate
and dynamic.New glass partitions allows the sun light to illuminate all the
environments; even the bathroom located at the mezzanine, receives
natural light from the bathroom window below, through the glass wall of
the shower.The double height of the living room has been underlined by the presence
of three hanging lighting elements that enhance the spatial continuity
with the mezzanine floor.The existing and unique cement tiles of the entrance floor, as well as
the portion of the existing oak-wood flooring of the living, have been
restored, while we chose to use a new dove-coloured resin floor for the
kitchen and the bathrooms, and a brushed oak-wood flooring for the
mezzanine.The custom furnitures that we designed for the entrance and the kitchen
are well integrated with the shade of colors of the flooring.
