This is our first Milanese project.

A duplex apartment, result of unifying two apartments and two attics in a historic building in Milan, with a long, green terrace.

Designed for a young family with a passion for cooking and books, we opted to demolish a floor and create a spectacular double-height kitchen and living space with exposed timber beams, mezzanine and light-wells, a big kitchen island and a central library on two floors.

The design is heavily influenced by Milan art deco buildings and the building that hosts the apartment, its curves, the composed marble floors and rounded detailing.

Lower floor - entrance, kitchen, dining, living, bathroom, bedrooms and suite.

Mezzanine floor - studio and terrace

The existing building. The project references the arches and moldings of the 1800s milanese apartment block.
