Article source: arch. Angelo Luigi Tartaglia Rome – Beyond the glass is Rome, the songs and postcards. There is the atmosphere and the irresistible charm of the capital, is its urban rhythm and then there are the buildings. The context of the setting of this house is the Umbertine quarter of Prati, near the Vatican. The setting planimetric is stiff, typical of the dwellings in this area: entrance, corridor, culminating at the end of the kitchen and the bedroom. In one of these buildings Colavita family lives, better known, especially in the United States, such as “lords of the oil.” “We are a mature couple” – said with a slight smile the owner – and both me and my husband wanted to end up in a home intimate and reassuring that it was neither too much nor too contemporary classic.

The distribution is characterized by open spaces and fluids that overturn the original plant, with a clear division between day and night environments. In this perspective should be read three portals to-ceiling set the pace of home, balanced characterized by alternating full and empty spaces.

Completely open them they put in the entrance to the living room, the latter with kitchen and study the long corridor cupboard, which leads to the sleeping area.
