Description:
The apartment is located in a historical building in the city
center of Rome , in the Rione Celio borhood,
between the Colosseum and the Lateran obelisk. Due to the small
dimension of the flat, the target was to enlarge the spaces by connecting each
room and by giving the maximum permeability. The central area of the house
has three openings: a first one for the current kitchen
and two (twins) that lead to the living room and
bedroom. The kitchen is highlighted by a wooden frame as an independent
room connected with the entrance of the apartment. The project will is to
have the bedroom as the only intimate space in the apartment. For this
purpose, a sliding glass door divides the more private area from the
living, giving brightness also to the entrance. Only natural and
bright materials were used for all the apartment: the rooms are provided with
oak hardwood floors while Carrara marbles mosaic for the
bathroom. Different type of italian marble were used also for the
construction of fixed elements as the kitchen countertop and the custom wash
basin.
