“… They never stand still! And then they have to be everywhere. They have to see you. They have to feel your presence. They take up all your time. They give you back immense love and happiness, though, and that cancels out any kind of discomfort they sometimes create for you. So you have to organize yourself well. Study every single moment, every single detail and every corner of your home. Or almost… Leave some room to improvise, too!” – Parents desperately in love. Forever.

From a former workshop, as a result of a comprehensive renovation project curated entirely by the Studio, 3 distinct lofts are born, each with its own very personal and distinctive character designed to reflect the personality of their future owners. LOFT C – Smart home for a family with two young children, where every corner is designed to be alone and to be together. Comfortably and at all times. A square that provides space for a variety of activities with houses overlooking it. This is how this space was designed. A small entrance gives access to an open area with high ceilings and windows through which to communicate emotionally with the outdoors. From the two sides the living room is enclosed, as if embraced, by two volumes, which are two lofts. The first is dedicated to a small bedroom, as if it were a little house with a giant glass that always lets you stay in touch. The second is a bedroom, also separated only by a large glass and covering curtains that allow for the necessary privacy. The loft spaces are dedicated to the play area and the kitchen with a large peninsula. The area behind the kitchen is a space completely used for laundry and storage. In the bathroom a very large windowed shower.

Project Details.

The volumes are very simple and essential. The main finishes are oak wood parquet, wooden structures painted in white, and metal structures painted in black. Lots of glass, which allows to maintain eye contact and have more light always having the possibility to glimpse all 4 windows in view, and many mirrors (also used as a door in the kitchen) that create games of perspective and enlarge the spaces. Viennese straw to cover the niches that allows glimpses and at the same time maintains the sense of depth by recovering additional storage spaces.

The mezzanines are like two opposites that, however, combine harmoniously. One in metal, painted black, thin, with a very minimal staircase; the other in wood, painted white, thicker and with more traditional steps. White is also reprised in the color of the walls, in the velvet curtains and in the colors of the nursery. In the bedroom, white is juxtaposed with tones of forest green and olive green, and then transitions to black in the linen, cotton, metal profiles of the glass, mirror and doors. Black completely covers the fenix kitchen. Then it is also repeated in the living room on the Scacchi tables/poufs by Mario Bellini.

Amidst the black and white we find the color of the parquet floor, the velvet sofa and the essential shaped armchairs with black metal elements. The warmest tone is provided by the brass of the lamps, whether wall sconces or pendant lamps. Lighting defines numerous scenarios and combinations: neutral covering wallwasher light from the windows that almost imitates natural light, general dispersive light from the pendants, mood light from the linear wall sconces, direct light from the pendant above the table in the kitchen, table lamps and various wall sconces.
