At Tor de’ Cenci, in the southern outskirts of Rome, a brutalist-inspired apartment overlooking the Castelporziano Natural Reserve finds new life. The 120-square-meter home features large windows and a 40-square-meter terrace equipped to capture abundant natural light and offer sweeping views of the greenery all the way to the Roman coast, giving birth to Casa Rude. The residence is characterized by the sensual use of materials, such as exposed reinforced con crete pillars and beams framing the living area. The studio harmoniously mixes different tones, moods, and textures, stimulating the tactile experience of architecture. The clean and elegant lines balance the raw aspect of the finishes, such as the terracotta kitchen or the typically artisanal per forated brick wall that divides the living area from the studio. The living area is conceived as a loft, a single space with unfinished walls and continuous flooring that houses the entrance, living room, dining area, and kitchen, visually connected by the exposed concrete structure. An imposing multifunctional birch wood cube serves as a pivot, housing a pan try, coat closet, and TV library. The sartorial work done on the interiors extends to custom-made furnishings
