The hybrid house in Rome, Italy by ERA – Enrico Realacci Architectures

Article source: ERA – Enrico Realacci Architectures
A building dating back to 1905, near the historical Villa Torlonia in Rome.
Generous spaces and volumes, a classical layout, a large corridor with arches and a large salon.
Everything could stay that way, just a technological plants upgrade and new finishes were needed.
Instead, thanks to a perfect understanding with the customer, a new vision was born, that completely revolutionized the perception and usability of spaces.
The original dimension, losing its \”bourgeois\” attributes, acquires interpretative and movement freedom, poetry, personality.
The walls, reduced to the essence, maintain their strong identity, while light, sinuous, definitely contemporary elements were arranged on a second layer.
Surfaces, furniture elements, lines of light crossing the rooms, suggest a completely new spatial continuity.
We move under a starry sky, following bright trails, through unconstrained trajectories.
Each one searching its own way of living the space, and re-inventing it.
