Amaranth House is the conversion of a residential apartment of the early 50's.
The redistribution of space is set by means of two main measures:
One is the creation of a walk-in closet between the bedroom and the living area, designed as a box, a sculptural element, colorful and with satin reflections; and the other is the opening of two full-height passages, which can be closed by sliding two large oak panels.
The kitchen, the bedroom and the living room can, if necessary, be divided, otherwise they constitute a single space with interesting visuals.
Some old Palladian floors have been recovered, and the color choices aim at creating a sophisticated play of references between architectural finishes and furnishings.
