Linearity with soft touches

RENOVATION OF A 1930S KITCHEN

In keeping with the original layout of the apartment, the kitchen is a room of its own, where one can enjoy a coffee while watching the sunrise.

IN A 1930S APARTMENT, THIS RENOVATION THAT MOVES BETWEEN THE RIGOROUS LINES OF THE STYLE PAVED THE WAY FOR ITALIAN MODERN ARCHITECTURE AND THE REMNANTS OF A SOFTER, MORE DECORATIVE PAST.

Sensitivity to the original style

The 1930s charm of the apartment was enhanced with a careful renovation that preserved the regular layout, featuring a central entrance corridor with rooms on either side, period doors with panelling and geometric decorative frames, and the original stucco work on the three-metre-high ceilings.

DRAG

The refinement of the spaces is also enhanced by the decision to restore a flooring that harmonises with the style of the era, as the original was removed in the late 1960s. Instead of the 1930s Venetian terrazzo in the kitchen, there is now a similar version made from a blend of quartz and Carrara marble, finished in Palladio Moro. In the other rooms, Italian herringbone parquet is revived with small oak planks, also laid in the classic herringbone pattern.

D23 - SLAB DOORS

This studio house belongs to a product and interior designer who also designed the kitchen himself, using the D23 variant of the All-arounD system. The central island features steel doors with a recessed handle and a Carrara marble worktop, also used for the backsplash in the washing area, nestled between tall units in Tecnolam walnut. The dining area, featuring the Tulip table designed by Eero Saarinen, is complemented by a built-in bench, tiled with small rectangular tiles that continue seamlessly from the wall.
