The renovation was executed in such a way that maximizes functionality of the current floor plans, and achieves modern and light ambiance throughout the house, all in accordance to Your briefing.
Furniture pieces, and materials used, were selected with modern, yet warm and cozy effect in mind.
As You required, interior walls remained untouched, with one additional wall added into the current pantry (ripostiglio) so it allows separated GYM, and a smaller pantry (or laundry room).
Existing stone walls became exposed, therefore enhancing the sense of the old structure in a respectful manner.
Roof skylights are added in two positions, one on the ground floor (above the gym), and other on the first floor (above the hallway), therefore allowing great amounts of light to enter these spaces.
Ground floor consists of:
- winter garden (with movable glass elements that allows for great flexibility in different usage scenarios during the year)
- living room (that is divided into two areas, reading area-that can be separated with a curtain, and a social area near the fireplace)
- dining room
- storage room
- SPA room (with a gas fireplace and a large swimming pool)
- kitchen (contemporary designed with built in elements in mind)
- bedroom (where a existing bathroom was enlarged)
- toilet
- GYM
- pantry/laundry room
First floor consist of:
- studio (completely redesigned, with a working area with a fireplace, and a bedroom)
- two comfortable bedrooms
- two bathrooms (redesigned completely)
- hallway with the skylight
The area around the swimming pool, and the object nearby, are envisioned as the natural functional extension of the house itself, which are realized as objects that only got minimum treatment (the pool area was renewed with the wood planking deck, and the summer house was enclosed in the sliding glass panels, all with the same materials and elements used on the house itself).
