Archventil House: a house-showroom in the heart of Milan



After steady growth, with more than 350 completed projects, Archventil opens the doors of its new headquarters at 42 Gian Battista Vico Street in Milan’s historic center. More than just a headquarters, Casa Archventil is a design manifesto: a place designed to welcome, inspire, connect. A creative hub where design, art, music and architecture meet thanks to an ecosystem of collaborations with international brands and galleries.

The architecture of the space is designed to offer a complete experience: fine materials, iconic furnishings, thoughtful details, and an atmosphere that reflects the studio’s identity. In the center, a signature Binova design island serves as both a materioteca and a bar for events and showcooking. A staircase leads to a panoramic lounge, an oasis of creativity and networking designed to welcome clients, partners and friends of the brand.

“Casa Archventil was conceived as a house-showroom, a place where innovation, research and experimentation meet. This project embodies the essence of my vision of design: something that goes beyond interior design in the strict sense, interweaving multiple disciplines to generate emotion, atmosphere, energy, sensations, a lifestyle. It will be an ecosystem of ideas and collaborations, a living space, open to the city and to excellence in design, art, music and beyond.”
– Elena Tomlenova, Founder & Creative Director
After/After
Before/Before

A place to live, between beauty, function and inspiration



Casa Archventil is much more than an operational headquarters: it is an experience to be lived. Every room is designed to convey beauty, functionality and a sense of belonging. The entrance welcomes guests with an art installation that tells the studio’s identity from the first glance, in an elegant balance of art and contemporary design.

The beating heart of the space is a large open space designed to foster team collaboration and well-being, from which private offices and meeting rooms open up for moments of concentration and discussion. In the center, a brick-colored Binova island, with cipollino marble top, performs a dual function: materioteca for moodboard creation and bar counter during meetings and showcooking, supported by a linear kitchen with state-of-the-art Bora appliances.

A Forbo-clad staircase leads to the lounge area, a contemporary living room furnished with iconic pieces selected from top international brands. This space can be transformed when needed into an informal meeting room, a relaxation area or a stage for creative brainstorms. From here there is access to the panoramic terrace, designed as an urban oasis for exclusive events, meetings with clients and moments of conviviality.

Every detail-from materials to lighting, from furniture to acoustics-has been designed to reflect Archventil’s method and spirit: to create unique, personalized environments that tell a lifestyle and inspire those who live them every day.
