For this project, the challenge of the manuarino studio based near Naples, was to obtain from a small space everything necessary for living with comfort and elegance for a young couple of newlyweds. A lot of light, warm colors and essential and welcoming environments. The optimal distribution is combined with the practicality of the spaces exploited to the maximum. The project revolves around three requests: to have a fireplace in the living area, to position a beautiful white coral, insert a vintage naval compass left by her father. All accompanied by a maniacal attention to detail and artificial and natural light.

The large windows open up to a splendid view of the islands of Ischia and Procida on one side and Capo Miseno on the other, as well as on the roofs of Monte di Procida. The warm colors of the lapped stoneware floor and some wooden parts are enhanced by a strong mustard yellow that harmoniously combines the mixed spaces of the entrance area, living and dining areas.
