The new design of the apartment had to be suitable both as a home and as a working place. The first design-action has been to empty the spaces, recording the traces of their previous uses.

The project redefines the rooms connected to water, the bathroom and the kitchen, while preserving the historical character of the spaces with their original cementine tiles and wood-and-glass double doors.

The strong character of the pre-existing floors is enhanced by the white of the new furniture and by the pure lines of the lighting elements. Books, objects and plants fill in the rooms, where the old and the new find a renovated balance.

The new tiles of the bathroom recalls the broken-geometry of the cementine, adding new green tones.
