We are in the Testaccio district in an early 20th-century building along Via Marmorata, a street named after the large deposits of marble and stone that arrived by river or overland and were piled up here awaiting sale or processing since the days of ancient Rome. The renovation focused on the redefinition of services and a new overall concept, to make the rooms more functional and adherent to the needs of the new clientele.
The essentiality of the lines characterizes the interior design, keeping unchanged the original conformation of the apartment, marked by a central load-bearing spine. The intervention began with the restoration of the exposed vaults. We developed the general layout starting from a distribution filter that clearly divided the living area and the two separate suites: one private and one representative.
One of the primary goals was to maintain a sense of color. A single horizontal line at the height of the passageways draws the space through the use of two different textures: one more textural grain at the bottom, the other more subtle toward the top. Architecture and furniture merge, creating open and bright spaces in an understated and relaxing atmosphere.
