A colorful attic

The kitchen, the beating spot of the house, had not the importance it deserved. Its decentralized position in relation to the living areas resulted in a loss of value of this precious space. Therefore, our project was aimed at giving prominence to a diminished space and highlighting the owners’ passions. The large open space has thus become the connection heart for all the other areas of the house, a junction between the owners’ sleeping area and an extension reserved to guests. The large kitchen has now a prominent position directly connected to the open space through a portal. The latter creates a chromatic treasure chest shaped area that emphasizes the importance of this passage.

There are no visual obstacle in the kitchen that interrupts the gaze, from the outdoor panorama to the open space, everything can be seen from the central island. The guest area is accessible from the kitchen through a petroleum blue portal. The design of this part of the house is extremely detailed and consists of a small sleeping area, a bathroom characterized by delicate colours and materials, and a pantry room serving the kitchen.

The biggest emotion is given by the large open space. This space is divided into different functions without any visual interrupting elements, to fully enjoy the natural light coming through the large windows.

It is delimited by a structure made of Natural Oak wood profiles that descend from the false ceiling to one of the sides of the small living room, creating a functional wall for this area. This space is characterized by a design sofa, a cabinet with built-in TV, and a scenic bookcase, the perfect corner to relax in the evening.

A long corridor, whose largeness and depth are amplified by the contrast between the white and the anthracite colours, leads from the living room to the sleeping area. Two bathrooms are located on the right side, each one characterized by colours and materials with a strong and important effect. Some walls of the first bathroom are characterized by a stoneware cladding, Marazzi Sodalite Blu, whose pattern is distinguished by a veined blue and dark purple marble effect, which gives a classic elegance to the whole environment. The other walls have been treated with light grey Waxed Concrete from the same Company, to create a contemporary and chromatic contrast.

The cladding of some walls of the second bathroom is made of Ariostea Onice Persia stoneware, disposed in a large pattern. The delicate and soft onyx colour results in a glamorous and refined environment. The Waxed Concrete has been used also in this bathroom to create a surprising contrast, amplified by the designed arrangement of lighting that makes it the right place for your wellness.

The lighting was of great importance in the design of the attic, as it has been used as a true architectural construction element.

All the rooms were designed with specific elements that characterised the individual spaces, in a general or in a specific way. The hanging lamps by Slv Numinos, the false ceilings with light slots, the spotlights, and the floor lamps create a unique and precious space at night. All these elements and details perfectly harmonize together thanks to a Tarkett vinyl floor, Starfloor Click Ultimate 30 effect, whose colour convey that feeling of well-being and warmth that everybody is looking for in their own homes.
