Initially, the structure of the building was different, being divided into 6 smaller apartments. Their wish was to keep the central staircase and to redivide the rest of the space so that the house would seem a compact, open structure with ample and very bright spaces. The area dedicated to the kitchen is generous, being directly connected to the living room. We could easily say that this is the heart of their house. Thus, all members and even guests are involved in the cooking process, always remaining connected to each other, being able to socialize without the barriers imposed by the spatial division. After the reconfiguration, the house was divided into two levels. The first contains the bedrooms and bathrooms, the top floor being in the process of being decorated, the couple wanting to decorate everything in peace. In fact, various souvenirs from the two’s travels are often found in the decoration.
The design abounds in elements that attract your eye at every step. Attention to detail is at the level of art in this couple’s home. Everywhere we will find elements from various eras and cultures, all majestically reunited in an original eclecticism, where the industrial style predominates through the details and colors used. The passion for art and photography of the two decorates every corner of the house, whether it is transposed through a framed photograph, a lighting fixture with an atypical shape or unique pieces of furniture such as the “Joe” armchair or the red “Serie Up 2000” armchair, whose design bears the name of the famous Gaetano Pesce.
Each room enjoys plenty of natural light, with windows occupying large areas of the house. The white walls enhance and amplify the entire space. Black accents are a common leitmotif from the kitchen furniture, to the stair treads and even the bathroom walls or window frames. Nothing seems ordinary in this house. Everything is atypical but at the same time denotes the charm of a special design that breathes originality through every detail.
