The Italian building panorama has changed since the post-war period, with entire residential neighborhoods built between the 1960s and 1980s. Buildings with the same characteristics, with large rooms, but sometimes too much divided and characterized by fine finishes, practically rough diamonds to be refined thanks to targeted interventions, guaranteeing a higher living quality than the major of new buildings construction.
In a district near Forlì historical center, is located an apartment that enjoys a privileged view of the city but the state of the art is in a state of abandonment: the challenge was to restore its lost beauty, aligning it with the classic style of the neighborhood where is located, reinterpreted in a modern key.
Residence has great potential but is tarnished by high and bare ceilings, excessively divided rooms and poor brightness; the secret was to remove, eliminate excessive divisions and through targeted and precise interventions bring an apartment built in the middle of the last century into the 21st, adding dynamism and new functions to interiors plenty of details.
The design idea intends to open up the spaces to guarantee greater brightness, arranging elegant areas that follow the habits of daily life with functional solutions. The heart of the house is the living room, a large room formed by the airy entrance that leads to the living room and the open space kitchen, whose rooms are separated by an imposing but graceful full-height bookcase that recalls classics style, creating a link that identifies the entire apartment. The island-kitchen, with essential lines is flanked by wallpaper in emerald colors and gold leaves that embellish the decorations.
In the background, to make the atmosphere warmer, the wonderful natural oak floor, laid in italian herringbone pattern in every room.
Finally, the common thread that unite the project is the contrast between historicity and contemporaneity, through classic references reinterpreted in a modern key, such as the pilasters at the entrance that frame the rooms in the sleeping area or the arches taken up in the library.
The intervention allowed customers to experience an apartment to which an identity was given back through a trendy style, the commercial value of which increased significantly.
