The project is part of the refurbishing of an ancient country home that borders the Monza Park. The complete restoration and recovery of the attic allowed for great freedom of choice in the distribution and use of the interior. A brightly-lit hallway on the first floor is the walkway that connects the many bedrooms. The design choice is to leave the exposed beams of the ceiling and to play with the natural light, allowing dialog between the various rooms through windows and skylights. Resin is the dominant theme in the bathrooms – from the floors to the coverings – lending uniformity to the whole and allowing the furnishing elements to stand out. Wood, however, reigns as the flooring of choice in the other rooms.

The job involved the joining of two apartments and a redefinition of the space, its functions and circulation. The spacious living room is the dominant element, here natural light from the large, arched windows and overhead light from the new skylights blends perfectly with the artificial light from the deep-set skylight that surrounds the entire living room. The first floor is set aside for the sleep zone, where bedrooms and bath morph into a single space punctuated by the exposed wood beams. A black, oval, cast-iron tub dominates the space and black becomes the common thread in an ongoing interplay of contrasts with the white elements in the room. Different purposes that dialog in a single space is the recurring theme in the entry, too. When necessary, the central counter converts into an island filled with all the comforts of traditional kitchen.
