The project involves the complete renovation of a large apartment.The demolition of existing walls has allowed for a proper balance between the sleeping area and the living area.  Simone Furiosi The living area has been opened up as much as possible, creating two conceptual and physical volumes that define different functions and add dynamism to the space.  Simone Furiosi The first volume houses the kitchen, which can be completely isolated or connected to the dining area through full-height sliding doors.  Simone Furiosi The second volume delimits the opposite side and provides access to the more private part of the apartment, including a bathroom, a single bedroom, and a master bedroom with an ensuite bath...

Casa Amaranto is the renewal of an early 1950s Milanese apartment. The redistribution of spaces takes place through two main expedients: the first is the creation of a walk-in closet between the main bedroom and the living area; the volume, conceived as a box, characterizes both spaces becoming a sculptural satin coloured element with iridescent reflections. Matteo Bonetti The second reorganization device consists of a set of two openings at full height, that can be closed by two large sliding oak wood panels. If necessary, the kitchen, the bedroom and the living room can be divided, otherwise they constitute one continuous visually interconnected space.  Matteo Bonetti The old Venetian Terrazzo floors (Palladiana) of the s...

Some houses do not require radical human interventions to have an impact on people's lives and dp home is no exception. Michela Locci Michela Locci This apartment located in the province of Lodi sees in its owners a young couple who love colors and small spaces.

The starting point for the renovation of this large apartment was the desire to create a dynamic system of spaces, able to adapt itself to the different needs of its inhabitants.The general layout of the house includes three bedrooms - one with a walk-in closet - kitchen, laundry room, study and three bathrooms. Sara Magni Sara Magni The fulcrum of the house lies in the living room, where the already existing pink granite fireplace and bow window are reintegrated within a new concept, which breaks the idea of a house made up of a sequence of rooms to create instead a more interesting concatenation of different moments in which to live various experiences. The living room is defined by the creation of two rounded and polychrome v... More

The renovation of an apartment in the very heart of Milan focused on the moving inside, the relationship with the space and finishing.The project was born from the request to merge two small flats into a single large one; the focal point is the long distance dividing the entrance from the large 70 mq terrace, which surrond the living room. The creation of an iconic element as a white box, containg the service rooms ( toilet and kitchen area) reduced, thanks to the compression ans decompression, that distance creating a real passway experience. Caption The plain shape and softness of the cration, through the light and game of volumes, consecrated the space. Caption The sleeping area develops all around the house and is divided in... More

The project involves the complete renovation of a small apartment overlooking Milan’s Darsena. To enhance the privileged view offered by two large French windows onto the surrounding urban landscape, it was decided to fully open the living room and kitchen, making them in fact a single environment. Simone Furiosi The living room wall and the kitchen wall perpendicular to it become a scenic backdrop that delimits the living area, separating it from the more private areas of the house.

A few steps from Parco Sempione, the green heart of the city of Milan, LPzR architects have designed a new “nearly zero energy” (nZEB) residential building, with innovative technological solutions and a swimming pool on the roof.   “Urban stitching” is the concept. The architects wanted to design a new link between two extremely heterogeneous buildings: a three-storey school complex from the 1800s, and an eight-story residential building from the 1960s. The new volumes align carefully with the adjacent buildings, to fit morphologically into the pre-existing architectures. The compositional language, on the other hand, is admittedly contemporary, even if there are references to traditional architectural element... More
