Description by Studio DiDeA
The architects following the clients’ desires renovated the apartment with the result of a more airy, bright space with a better distribution.
The original plan was the typical for a seventies home: a central corridor giving access to the different rooms.
All the internal partitions were demolished. The living area is in the front of the house, the sleeping area at the back and the services contained in blocks

In the living area special attention was paid to natural light flowing from windows on both sides (east and west). After the entrance we are in an open space including the kitchen on the left and living room and dining room on the right. The kitchen can be closed when needed through a smoked glass sliding door.
The blocks containing services have been upholstered with wood. The first block hosting a storage closet and the guests bathroom is inserted between the kitchen and the study room; the second block between the study room and the bedroom contains the walk-in closet room and the bathroom. A smoked mirrored glass sliding door divides the day zone from the night zone.
Almost all the furnishings have been custom-designed by DiDeA and realized by local artisans.
