It is a large apartment spread over three levels: eighth and ninth floors plus terrace level.
The customer had very specific needs: a large house that could accommodate the family with two children, a dog and the grandparents in the apartment next door.
The family, on the other hand, was very demanding.
My project had to be detailed, precise and unique: the view on the new City Life neighborhood was a very stimulating goal for us.
The plan is designed with an oblique direction of the spaces, which breaks up the rectangular shape of the building: a diagonal that divides the rectangularity of the space and transforms everything into a fluid process of the rooms.
The staitcase: three levels of stairs, why not retrieve it?
It was recovered and modified with a carpentry and interior process.
Parquet and custom-made furnishings were chosen for the whole house.
Lighting design was made by Marco Pollice Illuminazione.
Custom-made furnishings have been designed by Francesca Cutini architect, and have been made by the wisdom of the StudioDodici carpenter, including the kitchen designed for the client Laura.
Massimo’s studio, an established professional in Milan, was located in a corner of the living room. We have chosen seating, greenery and a large protected area on the terrace.
Seats have been specially designed for the terrace overlooking City Life, fabrics and outdoor furniture have been designed for this project
The house consists of: an exclusive suite for the two professionals, the children’s rooms, the kitchen, the private bathroom. Three floors of poetry with a view of City Life and its sky line over Milan; from the terrace on summer days you can enjoy a cocktail with a beautiful sunset view.
