Project Description

The greatest challenge of this project was to conceive two homes within the same space: two possible future lives, each with their own needs, requirements and aspirations.

A home for two that can be divided into two: this is a 150-square-metre penthouse, designed from the outset to be split in the future into two separate units, namely an 85-square-metre three-room flat and a 65-square-metre two-room flat.

The flat is characterised by a living area designed around the theme of light, in harmony with the spacious outdoor area of a corner terrace. A utility block, housing a guest bathroom with a freestanding bath and washbasin and a laundry room — concealed by wallpaper covering all three walls — leads naturally into the kitchen.

A second entrance, which is now fully open-plan, leads to the more intimate sleeping area, comprising three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms clad in large slabs, fully equipped with comfortable showers and carefully optimised spaces.

The herringbone parquet provides the backdrop to a colour scheme combining shades of sage and white, enlivened by bottle-green accents on the seating and wallpaper.

A refined balance of natural materials, bold colours and bespoke details, enhanced by advanced technology and a fully smart building management system.

Who is the designer?

Vincenzo Floriello is an architect who favours a carefully considered, authentic beauty, free from excess. He specialises in interior refurbishments, primarily for private clients, whilst also working in the public sector and sacred architecture. For him, consultation with the client, dialogue with the tradespeople and a constant presence on site are key to the success of a project; imagination, research and attention to detail are the ingredients of a bespoke service tailored to those who will live in the spaces being designed.

How did your passion for architecture and interior design come about?

This passion stems from the desire to achieve a single goal: to ensure that any problem becomes an opportunity for growth, improvement and deeper understanding. Asking questions, paying attention to detail and striving for precision are the keys to doing one’s job well, every day and in a unique way.

What is the most important focus when you start a new project?

At the start of a new project, it is essential to understand the client’s relationship with their home, as well as the needs and priorities of daily life for those who will inhabit the spaces: routine can stifle a relationship, whilst dialogue and sharing can enhance it.

In your view, what role can a door play within a project?

A door is a threshold, a passageway that takes you by the hand on a journey of discovery through the spaces. Ermetika flush-fitting doors help fulfil this role, blending into the wall to show the way to new discoveries.

What prompted you to choose Ermetika products?

Ermetika guarantees reliability, durability and precision in its craftsmanship. Fitters love their work when they can rely on support that helps them perform at their best; architects are thrilled when they can touch what they have imagined and see it with their own eyes.
