The project also includes the arrangement/decor of the double room, the sanitation through custom solutions, and the design of outdoor verandas that are currently undervalued.
After having carefully observed the locations involved in the project, the focus has been shifted to the identification of a connection element between the spaces in order to create a uniform project, a guideline that can form a unique and exclusive place through changes and compositional variations. The project develops starting from the predominant element: the brushed elm flooring and its skirting board. As if it was a “plastic” element, the skirting board changes its dimensions and its shapes, including/embracing some parts of the decor becoming chest of drawers, base for vase holders, lighting and creating a uniform aspect in the whole living area. Floor, window/door frames, furniture, panelling become one with the location and create an inseparable connection through the material too. The floor becomes the added value and the key of interpretation of the whole project. A new space that works like a unitary system joining the existing decor (Lago design) and the beautiful design pieces that are already present. A black line that horizontally connects two areas at first: dining/living room and then, changing direction, it becomes a table and lastly indicates the stopping point of the gaze on the bookcase. A grey durmast oak line that goes lengthways through the space, becoming a TV cabinet and a dining room console at the same time. A line that transforms itself and change direction, not furniture anymore but table. You look the other way and you see it, the same finish, the same colour that guide your eyes and your gaze and make you turn until you focus on the big grey durmast oak bookcase that is inlaid and embellished by elm items, which assist in lightening their presence within the room. The outdoor spaces design concerns the design of verandas/loggias. Right from the start the idea was to create an outdoor space that could be the natural continuation of the living area, a spot to be used/lived during spring days and at the same time a spot that could be related (using plants) to the other rooms’ features. The design concerns a system of (custom) vases at variable heights that alternate planted spaces and design pieces such as seats/chest of drawers where you can take a break and spend some time relaxing surrounded by greenery. The design of custom vases allow to have a reduced depth in order to ensure the highest and best use of the terrace but at the same time to create a fragrant hedge with different heights that guarantee the right privacy of the living area.
