Trastevere apartment - Roma

El apartamento ubicado en el centro histórico de Roma fue rediseñado integramente respetando la antigua estructura del edificio. La iluminación abundante y los colores cálidos juegan un importante rol dado que se trata de un primer piso en una calle estrecha y oscura. La gran cantidad de artefactos de oluminación est capitalizada en el diseño encajándolos en los techos y tabiques, enfatizando la profundidad del espacio, enriqueciendo los volúmenes y destacando los principales muebles.

La cocina está parcialmente oculta por divisores y conectada por puertas correderas de cristal, que al abrirse dejan expuesto el antiguo muro de ladrillo que puede verse desde el living. El mobiliario de cocina en madera se complementa con éste otros indicios de la arquitectura original.
El área de dormitorios es completamente privada y separada del resto del apartamento por medio de un corredor que lleva al dormirtorio principal y el estudio.

Memoria original en inglés:

This apartment (located in the historical center of Rome) has completely been reorganized and modified in both, interior distribution and style.
The use of warm colors and materials had the purpose to create a cosy environment while opening the space and emphasising the existing ancient building's structure.
The all day area has been conceived as a stage setting where architecture, art and design work together.
The lighting design played a very important role, because the apartment is located at the first floor of a narrow street and doesn't have a generous natural light.
The recessed lighting spots and the use of walls which emphasise the space's depht, opened the volumes and underlined the main furniture elements.

The kitchen is partially hidden by a partition that encloses two glass sliding doors.
When the doors are open, the kitchen's ancient brick wall can be seen from the livingroom.
The wooden kitchen's furniture very well connects to the other architectural elements and materials.

The night area is completely private and separate from the rest of the apartment through a small corridor that brings into the master bedroom, the studio, two walk-in-closets and the master bathroom.
Confort and warmth are the main characteristics of this space. The use of materials like dark wengé wood and refined fabrics, have been very important in order to create a cousy and comfortable flair.

The master bathroom, designed for two people, is large and bright. Glass, wood and white resins work together in a refined balance.
