95 m2 on the second floor of a late 19th century building,in the vibrant heart of the multi-ethnic Esquilino district in Rome, project designed for Matteo Soddu, co-founder of the studio, and his partner Sergio Marras. The overlap of being both the designer and the client, has allowed a 360° design, a perfect combination between the domestic dimension and architecture to be admired. A stone's throw from Piazza Vittorio, the house is located in via Giolitti, along the Termini station. The three French windows of the living room and the studio have as their horizon the wall covered in Travertine, which houses the control tower that once regulated the railway traffic, designed in the early 1900s by Angiolo Mazzoni. The apartment was dark, cramped, with narrow corridors and excessively low false ceilings. The design started from the need to expand the spaces, creating a central open-space dedicated to the living room, restoring the original ceiling with brick vaults and homogenizing the rooms with a neutral texture-free floor. The use of color defines the areas ,minimizing the number of doors and giving a feeling of great openness and versatility.
