The apartment occupies an area of about 320 square
metres in an attractive building for residential and
offices use, located near historic centre of Florence; it
is developed on the second and third floor attic. The
renovation of this apartment has been substantially
conservative in respect of the usable area ,only a
few structural modifications necessary for a better
distribution of housing functions.
Instead it is paid much attention to the interiors
which had to leave space to allow an important art
collection of the owners.
Three or four are the “strong” actions , customdesigned
that qualify the entire work, on a base of
warm colours and use of oakwood ( floors).
The first “ strong” action is a large circular staircase
with a diameter of more than two metres, located
in the entrance area connect the two floors of the
apartment, the staircase is entirely made of white
varnished iron and it is characterized by a laser-cut
balaustrade with a floral pattern.
The second “strong” action is a fireplace enclosed
in a kind of organic coating as a root, made in white
laquered wood, it wraps on the wall of the living
and dining room and framed in a natural way the
Brunelleschi’s dome, visible from a window.
The third ”strong” action is the passageway that leads
to bedrooms and terrace, treated with a coating of
mirrors it opens up space becoming a metaphysical
path.
As fourth “strong “ action there is a large sliding glass
door, screen-printed with the same floral pattern of
the staircase, which separates the kitchen (customdesigned)
from the living room.
Together with these actions there are other episodes
and details less showy, but these accompanying and
surprise us in all areas of the house, bathroom,
wardrobe, master bedroom ect.....
