The flat area is smaller than the lower floors, due to the façade withdrawing that generates a great terrace, all around the flat. Every room is connected with the exterior.

A large quantity of light comes in the interior spaces from these windows, which offers a favoured view on the hills of the up country and to the coasts.  Image Courtesy Marcello Mariana The new plan organization favours direct connection between living room and the great terrace. The main project purpose is to define a threshold between this two spaces. Due to the presence of several windows, the wall is difficultly usable. Besides living room and terrace are located on different levels. The solution is a fixed furniture, with irregular profile, a wave covered by a marble top that make ephemeral the border between in and out. At the same time is a seating, a base, a support.

Visible through the glazed sliding doors, it’s a quiet presence that change the space of living room, becoming an extension of the latter when the doors are open.

Suspension lamps remind naval lanterns, emphasized by the contrast with other more discreet lights, as recessed lamps.

Green colour that remind underwater landscapes, the contrast between the different colour of the walls, and the upper bookshelves that change the measure of the wall. These solutions cancel the corner perception.  Image Courtesy Marcello Mariana The same “sand theme” characterizes bedrooms and bathrooms. A renovation that research, through colours, materials, use of transparencies and space sequence definition, an elegant sea atmosphere  Image Courtesy Marcello Mariana  Image Courtesy Marcello Mariana  Image Courtesy Marcello Mariana  Image Courtesy Marcello Mariana  Image Courtesy Marcello Mariana  Image Courtesy Marcello Mariana  Image Courtesy Marcello Mariana  Image Courtesy Marcello Mariana  Image Courtesy Marcello Mariana  Image Courtesy Marcello Mariana  Image Courtesy Marcello Mariana
