HERITAGE

the starting plan that dates back to the early 70s provided for a central corridor and the comb distribution of the various rooms. An outdated distribution nowadays. The client had asked to make the apartment more functional by eliminating the corridor spaces and creating a large open space. Indeed, the new project totally modifies the existing planimetric system by creating new rooms serving the apartment.

The living area was created in the rooms facing the Arno and is characterized as a succession of spaces with arched openings and ceilings decorated with plaster stuccoes and rosettes. There are 3 spaces in succession: an entrance hall with wardrobe, a living room and a kitchen space. The living room is furnished with a three-seater sofa and two poufs in gray velvet and an ancient pink fabric chair with a gold-colored structure.

The overall decor is a mix of classic and modern. Moldings, stuccos and arches give an elegant appearance accentuated by a large bookcase wall that starts from the entrance and covers the walls opposite the windows. The white wooden bookcase is characterized by many arches with a grey interior.

Each arch is internally illuminated with LEDs. A suspended mirror separation element has been created between the living room and kitchen with a bioethanol fireplace covered in white statuary marble at the base. Besides this mirror with 18th century frames increase the preciousness of the environment.

The contemporary open kitchen is anthracite with statuary marble tops. In the center, a Saarinen oval table with black marble top and transparent Kartell chairs. The white marble kitchen and the black marble table create a play of colors and reflections that interact with the white walls and the interiors of the anthracite gray arches.

The two bedrooms, also with plaster decorated ceilings, overlook a quiet internal courtyard and are made warmer by the use of velvet curtains and headboards.

The bathrooms reflect the colors and contrasts of the marble in the kitchen. Black and white. Chrome or gold taps and great attention to detail and custom-made washbasins in bardiglio grey marble and emperador light.
