00 — Milano
Milano
Historic shell.
Contemporary insertion.
01 — Existing Shell
Existing shell
The apartment is treated as an existing architecture rather than a neutral container.
Proportions, mouldings, openings and parquet establish the conditions within which the new intervention takes place.
02 — The Insertion
A volume within the room
A dark timber volume is inserted into the historic shell.
Rather than dividing the apartment, it reorganizes it — concentrating functions while generating new passages, thresholds and relationships between spaces.
03 — Kitchen
Architecture becomes function
The insertion contains the kitchen without becoming conventional cabinetry.
Dark timber, stone and integrated light transform a domestic function into part of the architectural composition.
04 — Living
One language, different scale
In the living room, the same material language becomes quieter.
A full-height library extends the architecture of the central volume, creating continuity without repeating its mass.
05 — Material Junction
Material junction
Dark oak. Stone.
Existing parquet. Light.
06 — Quiet Room
A quieter intervention
Away from the central volume, the architectural language becomes lighter.
Light, proportion and a single integrated gesture are enough to establish continuity with the rest of the apartment.
