Article source: Andrea Rubini architect Project house#02 is the result of a 90 square meter apartment renovation of a young couple living in Milan. The theme develops around the centre corridor of the house, a classic of the late ‘60s buildings such as this one, disengaging all the rooms.  Image Courtesy © Andrea Rubini architect

Each niche is dipped into light by individual spotlights.

The neutral grey tones on the floor and walls were aimed at resetting the place and make the furniture and the doors speak for themselves through their veneered, elm-striped structures against further black décor items.

A articular sense of depth is conferred by the almost sixty millimetre thick holes. These provide privacy on the one hand and allow the light to filter through the doorway on the other.
