Project Description

In an elegant 1970s building in the centre of Turin, a large unused attic space has been transformed into a bright and functional dwelling. The project involved the opening of large skylights to enhance the existing volume with natural light, while improving living comfort and liveability of the spaces.
 
The intervention, guided by a minimalist approach, redefined a previously uneven layout, maximising functionality and aesthetics. Neutral tones of white and grey amplify brightness and frame glimpses of the sky visible from the sloping ceiling.
 
The flat consists of a living room with open kitchen, master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, study, second bathroom with laundry, cloakroom and utility room. A scenic element is the faux beam in the living room, which houses installations and integrated lighting, enhancing perspective and breadth.

Interview

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

Every creative profession stems from a vocation, nurtured by study, dedication and experience. Ever since I was a child, I have felt the need to create: giving shape to ideas has always been my way of expressing myself. That is why architecture was a natural choice.
Besides an instinctive creativity, I have always been guided by a deep sensitivity for beauty, understood as harmony, meaning, balance. In my projects, I look for solutions that are functional but also able to excite, never banal. I am an architect by vocation, by passion, by vision.

What is the most important focus when starting a new project?

The focus, the fundamental starting point is listening: to the client's needs, the context and the spirit of the place. Every project is born from careful observation and open dialogue, to identify real needs and often hidden potential. From there begins the search for a balance between functionality, identity and beauty. My goal is to create spaces that are meaningful, harmonious and capable of lasting over time.

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

The door is not only a functional element: it is an architectural gesture that separates, but at the same time connects. It can become a focal point of the project, especially when its design contributes to the identity of the room, or it can be very discreet and disappear into the wall, as often happens in my projects, for which I prefer the flush-to-wall typology that integrates into the volumes. The door also has a symbolic role: it introduces, invites, prepares.

What made you choose Ermetika products?
 
I chose Ermetika products certainly because of their quality, attention to detail and the possibility of having products made to design, as in the case of the flush-to-wall door with a sloping side for the SKY LOFT project.
