This project involved the renovation of the main floor of a villa in the province of Monza and Brianza: the protagonists are the living area and kitchen, the rooms most used by the family.

Thanks to the demolition of the two walls that defined the kitchen space, it was possible to completely review the perception and functions of the entire floor. The design choices in fact aimed at bring light in all the rooms, which were originally dark, and make them more functional and optically larger. As can be deduced from the axonometry, each element is part of a very precise, calibrated compositional rhythm and nothing has been left to chance. The tailor-made design helps to better manage every detail.

The entrance

This space has been visually enlarged and slender thanks to the play of volumes, the design of the vertical lines and the use of indirect lighting. A pocket emptier with wall units hides the electrical panel and other technical elements from view. On the opposite side, a furnished wall, which can be opened for coat storage, divides it from the kitchen area

The kitchen

It is the main core of the floor, made independent when needed by a glass door. The wardrobe that separates it from the entrance is openable from both sides. The kitchen top and the snack top are made with a quartz stone, with pearl details and flaky stones with gold reflections that matches well with the brass of the back and the honeyed oak.

The bathroom

In 2.2 m2, guest toilet and storage room for the floor. The space has been studied and designed to the millimeter, to obtain maximum optimization. The composition, together with the definition of the details and the choice of colors, restore balance and rationality.

The livingroom

Few elements, well studied, suspended and emptied, make the living room environment brighter and lighter. The brass is presented in small bands, to border the oak panels, embellish one of the customer’s paintings and illuminate the environment. The bespoke design acts as a director for the entire composition and leaves nothing to chance.

How it was

The previous layout – black and white photos – did not enhance the double exposure of the house on private gardens and made the passage between the rooms uncomfortable, which appeared extremely small and not very functional.
