OUR TASK

The project revamps a one-bedroom apartment to create a compact yet comfortable home for a doctor. The renovation breathes new life into the Venetian interior.

THE CONTEXT

Set in a traditional 19th-century building in Venice, close to Rialto bridge, the firm's renovation involved the residential interior. 

THE PROJECT

The interior design was aimed to optimize the spatial distribution of the small size of the house.

The materials and geometry of the entrance are the strength points in the design of the entire apartment. Light gold laminated panels cover the ceiling and walls.

In a very narrow Venetian Calle, the apartment location needs to allow good natural lighting. 

Considering this weakness, the interior design privileges materials that can reflect artificial light.

To optically expand the space, the ceilings have been demolished, leaving visible the original historic wooden beams, and the size of the door between the living and sleeping areas has been increased.The project revamps a one-bedroom apartment to create a compact yet comfortable home for a doctor.
