New Construction Interior Design & Styling

Milena and Filippo, a young entrepreneurial couple, entrusted their apartment to the expert hands of the Archventil team, known for their ability to transform spaces through contemporary design. Located in a growing urban area on the outskirts of Milan, this project reflects the growing demand for refined and functional homes that embody understated elegance and the uniqueness of their inhabitants.

The focus of this project is on creating a home environment in which minimalism blends with the warm welcome of natural materials. The 72-square-meter apartment includes a large living room with an open kitchen, a study, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The interior design is conceived to evoke an atmosphere of serenity, where each element finds its place in an airy and bright context, far from superfluous clutter. The living room, the beating heart of the house, is designed for relaxation and conviviality. The kitchen, dominated by a central stainless steel island, represents a perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. This open layout promotes a smooth transition between the kitchen, dining and living areas, with an adjacent loggia transformed into an intimate outdoor corner, perfect for outdoor evenings.

A project tailored to unique needs: the interior design focused on integrating design elements that elevate the interior to a higher level. The project reflects the passions and peculiarities of Milena and Filippo, making the house an authentic reflection of their lifestyle. The aesthetic focus is on human minimalism, where simplicity is softened by natural textures and eclectic details. The color palette is based on neutral colors accompanied by contrasting tones and offers a timeless, refined and timeless base. The real charm of this design lies in the material contrast: natural wood, travertine and steel meet in a harmonious tension between modernity and warmth.

As Milena and Filippo are lovers of conviviality, the living area is designed to best accommodate friends and family. The living room and loggia provide ideal spaces to welcome guests, with a perfect combination of relaxed elegance and contemporary sophistication.

Before/Before

Human minimalism: the meeting of essentiality and warmth.

Arflex’s iconic Marenco ottoman is the star of the living room, combining comfort with bold, modern lines and standing out with its bold 2007 Mistral color. The travertine screen underneath and the bedside tables in the bedroom add a touch of timeless elegance to the room. Functionality goes hand in hand with refined taste: the sleeping area is concealed behind elegant custom-made oak closets, ensuring that practicality never compromises the aesthetic purity of the space. The master bedroom is a haven of calm. The bathroom, with its bright and contemporary walk-in shower, combines everyday comfort with refined style.

A unique touch of the project is the space dedicated to Filippo’s sim racing station. A custom-made corner next to the bedroom accommodates his simulator, creating a fascinating contrast between the high-tech gaming and the minimalist, refined context of the rest of the house.

This interior design project is a perfect example of how warm minimalism can be enhanced by eclectic and refined touches. Archventil was able to design custom spaces that combine functionality and beauty, reflecting the lives and passions of Milena and Filippo. Their home is a place where style and individuality coexist in harmony, transforming every day into a life experience lived with elegance.
