An elegant and functional apartment: Daniela and Luca's vision realized by Archventil



In the beating heart of the city of Milan, an apartment that once suffered from poorly exploited spaces has been transformed into a home rich in elegance and functionality thanks to Archventil’s intervention. Daniela and Luca, a professional couple in their 30s, decided to breathe new life into their apartment to align it with their needs and refined taste.

This is how Archventil fulfilled their wishes, creating a space that harmoniously combines colorful yet natural style, modern comfort, and maximum practicality.

The ‘apartment first: untapped potential.

The original apartment, featuring a small kitchen and a narrow bathroom, was not utilizing its full potential. Despite the high ceilings and large windows that gave a feeling of spaciousness, the spaces were hardly functional. However, there was already a sense of quiet and tranquility that promised an oasis of peace in the heart of the city.

The vision: a welcoming and functional home

Daniela and Luca dreamed of a home that could accommodate friends and family, with distinct spaces for living and working. Their vision included a spacious kitchen with an island, a living room with a corner sofa and Parisian-style fireplace, herringbone parquet flooring, and a study for two that would provide privacy and distinction between work and private life. They also wanted a master bedroom with a walk-in closet and en suite bathroom, an additional bedroom, a second bathroom and a reading area. All this without forgetting the importance of having additional beds for guests.

The metamorphosis: elegance and functionality in every detail



Archventil has taken this vision and turned it into reality, taking care of every detail to ensure elegance and functionality.

Kitchen and dining room.

The kitchenette has been expanded to include a center island, perfect for quick breakfasts and chatting while cooking. The dining room has no dividing walls but is all one, and with a large table, it is ideal for hosting lunches and dinners. High-quality appliances and elegant design complement this space, making it the social heart of the home. A double doorway, repeated in the dining area, creates continuity of space and decompresses the room, letting this room breathe widely.

Cozy living room. The living area has been furnished with a corner sofa that invites relaxation and conversation. The Parisian-style fireplace adds a touch of charm and warmth, while wood paneling and herringbone parquet flooring lend a timeless elegance.

Studio for two. To meet the needs due to Daniela and Luca’s work from home, a studio for two was created, with solutions to ensure concentration and peaceful space management for both of them. This environment makes it possible to clearly separate work time from leisure time, improving the quality of home life.

Luxurious rooms and bathrooms. The master bedroom, with walk-in closet and en suite bathroom, offers a private and luxurious oasis. The bathroom is designed with a spacious shower and double sinks, maximizing storage space. The second bedroom and additional bathroom ensure comfort and privacy for guests.

Relaxation area for reading. A small but cozy reading area without a TV has been created for quiet and reflective moments, responding to Daniela and Luca’s desire for a space to relax away from technological distractions.

“It has been almost a year since the end of the work but we continue to be surprised every time we return to the house: we designed with Olga and Elena every single space, on many things we were guided by them, especially on the choice of colors and materials. The result is a home where every element is in harmony and the space can be experienced in every inch. It is beautiful for the eyes and warm for the heart because thanks to their attention and professionalism we were able to integrate designer furniture with some of our heirlooms. Renovations are always complex but when you have someone you can trust it becomes a little easier and more fun. Thank you!”
