The apartment is located on the third floor of an Art Nouveau residential building in Via Roggia Scagna, Milan.
The original floor plan of the apartment was characterized by a large hallway in a central position with respect to the different rooms of the house. The renovation project seeks, on the one hand, to emphasize the presence of this space and, on the other, to strengthen the dialogue between the rooms.
To this end, a series of strategic demolitions were carried out to allow greater visual communication between the old kitchen and the living room. The position of these rooms was then symmetrically inverted so as to allow the new kitchen to overlook the terrace of the house, thus projecting its experience towards the outside. The greater continuity between the two rooms and the old corridor is then emphasized by the use of linoleum flooring which, with its format and continuous color, accentuates the sense of uniqueness of the spaces.
The flooring continues in the bedroom where, however, a door with an Art Nouveau character gives greater privacy to the room. The bathroom of the house has a strongly geometric character, where the ceramic covering becomes, with its sizes and colors, the matrix of the space.
