A 200-square-meter home, located in a period building in the heart of Milan, showcases a passion for formal rigor, color and material combinations, and art. These elements blend with respect for the local tradition, in harmony with the history of the capital of Italian design.
The lighting design follows the renovation concept, showcasing the materials and signature colors of this 200-square-meter apartment: dark green and orange. Every detail must be carefully illuminated, ensuring visual comfort to make every single space even more pleasant to live in.
The interior redesign takes shape by transforming numerous small rooms along a dead-end corridor into a flowing sequence of spaces. The living room is at the center, flanked by a study and a dining room, which in turn connects to the kitchen, pantry, and laundry/ironing room.
The living room is illuminated by a luminous rectangular ceiling that mirrors the geometry of the entire room, almost like an expansive skylight complementing the daylight from the large windows overlooking the street below.
The study is dominated by a vintage Sputnik pendant lamp, whose dramatic presence mirrors the dining room: almost like works of art, they expand in all directions and lend movement to the spaces.
Spot lighting is offered as a supporting element within the study, the workspace.
The kitchen and bathrooms feature a rectangular backlit ceiling that provides diffused, shadow-free lighting. This type of lighting, in addition to being decorative, also ensures adequate illuminance.
The bathroom mirrors are also equipped with wall-mounted fixtures for optimal functionality.
On the other side of the apartment, overlooking the internal courtyard garden, are the three bedrooms.
The wainscoting in dark green lacquered wood slats emphasizes the axis of the house, the dividing wall, a structural constraint maintained. The lighting design features lines of light that emphasize the shape and create light effects on the gleaming lacquer. The main features of the house emerge from the entrance.
The glossy resin cladding, a signature feature of the home, combines with the use of Carrara marble, wood, and other fine materials.
Light, in turn, becomes decorative and helps shape the space: a play of light and shadow that respects the well-being of those who live in the home and all the objects that, in their own way, bring it to life.
