Interior Design
& Styling

In Milan, just a short walk from the Duomo, Archventil has designed the new headquarters for Milu Group and Itay Properties, two companies active in the hospitality, real estate, and high-street retail sectors.

The project spans two floors with a total area of 560 square meters and resulted from the transformation of existing spaces into a unified work environment capable of accommodating different functions while maintaining a strong sense of visual continuity. The renovation primarily involved the fourth floor, which was completely redesigned in terms of layout and finishes, while on the fifth floor, the work focused on ensuring aesthetic coordination and aligning the spaces with the new overall identity.

The result is a workplace designed around controlled contrasts and chromatic variations. Glass walls, sheer curtains, and continuous surfaces maintain an open connection between the spaces and allow natural light to flow through them, while deeper tones define the work areas and those dedicated to concentration. The reception area, lounge, meeting rooms, offices, and shared spaces are conceived as parts of a single system. Colors, materials, and graphic details recur across the two levels with varying intensities, creating a recognizable continuity without making the spaces uniform.

Details
of the Project

The fourth floor, which originally featured large open-space areas, has been redesigned with new partitions and spaces dedicated to the various teams. The glass partitions maintain visual depth and natural light, while custom-made curtains allow the flexibility in balancing privacy and openness according to daily needs.

The flooring was completely renovated using Forbo surfaces, with lighter shades in hallways and common areas and deeper tones in work areas. Novacolor finishes add another layer of texture, while JAB curtains and rugs contribute to visual and acoustic comfort. The reception area has become one of the project’s most distinctive features. The existing desk was repurposed and reimagined with a new finish, flanked by a graphic wall by Wall&Decò and a selection of furnishings combining pieces by Frezza and Ditre Italia. Color is used as a design element, creating a bold contrast with the architecture’s more neutral surfaces.

Special attention was given to the kitchen, which was expanded and transformed into a true space for sharing. The Kerrock countertop, Vitra and Sancal seating, Dedar fabric on the custom-made bench, mirror-effect cladding, and wallpaper create a more homey and informal atmosphere, complemented by Muuto lighting. In the offices and meeting rooms, Frezza elements define workstations, storage units, and conference tables, blending seamlessly with some of the existing furniture.

The project thus focuses on transformation rather than total replacement: preserving what was still viable, making precise interventions where necessary, and using materials, light, color, and furnishings to create a cohesive, contemporary, and recognizable headquarters for both companies.
