The project involves the interior spaces of a building in the hamlet of Brozzi, whose ancient roots seem to date back to the early Middle Ages.
In this context, the studio worked on the creation of a domestic environment for a young Florentine couple, redesigning the various living spaces by inserting volumes that act as punctual devices.
The various volumes define new spaces within the rooms in which they are inserted, creating entry filter spaces, becoming storage spaces, enclosing service rooms,
Becoming work islands in the kitchen, etc. The volumes recalibrate the proportions of the space, inserting new functions and changing its circulation.
The predominant colours are white, black and grey.
The white plastered walls brighten the rooms.
Oak parquet flooring has been used on the two levels of the house.
The dark volumes highlight the new spaces.
The furniture has been chosen in neutral tones.
Colour is used almost as a surprise effect, as in the guest bathroom, which reveals itself unexpectedly inside the black box containing it.
Or in the bedroom, where the headboard of the bed is also the lining of the walk-in wardrobe and presents, together with the curtain, a shade which partly stands out from the rest of the house.
