The building, built in the 1970s, and the apartment on the attic floor had completely lost the distinctive features of the era of construction: a clean slate as a starting point, to rewrite a story in a delicate balance of citations from the past, reinterpreted and constantly evolving.

The architectural plan is similar to an L, and some rather characterizing constraints, such as the highly elongated shape, the elevator shaft which squeezes the long side of the architectural plan into two halves, the pillars of the external pergola, a series of open-closed relationships, public and private with Z-shaped perimeter walls on a level terrace on the short side which continues with a long balcony on the long side of the house.

The client is made up of a family unit with three children aged between 23 and 11 with therefore very different needs.

The owners' desire was to receive 5 to 8 people daily, in complete comfort. The need for a kitchen environment integrated with the dining area, but if necessary also a privacy area for the spouses while the living room was inhabited by the children; a wine cellar area for entertaining guests, an exclusive toilet for hosting friends, the walk-in wardrobe that the landlady has always dreamed of with a bathroom attached to the master bedroom and at least one bathtub to be used with the wellness area. An independent bedroom for the second child with en-suite bathroom and two bedrooms and bathroom for two of the three boys.

A complex renovation with many expectations from the owners!

The project, rigorous in the sizing of the spaces, was however developed taking into account all the clients' requests.

A house of lights and shadows, with perceptive "leaps" between the living area and the sleeping area, where still empty parts alternate with others full of functions even at the same time, and the openings towards the outside of the living area are slits of urban views enriched by green areas of the Posillipo hill.

The study and research of functional, practical and at the same time contemporary materials, the layout of the entire project, material, warm and personalized, were the fulcrum of the interior design project.

On the one hand, from the rediscovered dignity of the new living area, thanks to the relationship with the outside, the different floor heights, the distribution and proportioning of all the required functions, on the other the objective of privacy and family comfort in any space with multiple family “actions”.

The extra edge to enhance everything was the lighting project.

When you design the light right from the early stages of the architectural concept, you have the possibility of being able to manage the needs of the habitability functions in perfect harmony with the light.

The desire for balance in the liveability of the environments, as a couple, with friends, as a family is immediately and contextually elaborated both in the interior and lighting design projects.

Being able to control the "dynamism" of the spaces simultaneously right from the early stages is the secret to a complete result that reflects the quality of a project and customer expectations. In a single concept: the perfect recipe!

Every object and every corner of the house is optimized and emphasized, it must represent the personal taste and lifestyle of the inhabitants, and obviously guarantee their comfort in every task, every action to be completed.

The lighting details contributed to this objective, just as the use of the living room had to have elasticity of life, so too the light had to perform its function. When to be an accompaniment, when to have an impact, sometimes emotional, other times functional. Party scenes and relaxing scenes watching your favorite series.

Introduced from the early planning stages of the interior project, the lighting fixtures were enhanced, emphasized or hidden in the architectural elements depending on the design intent. The lighting body as a decorative element was integrated into the interior design, carrying out its luminous function when required, in other cases the light fixture was deliberately hidden in the architectural detail, eliminating the decorative function and emphasizing the light perception project .
