Article source: Pierattelli Architetture A new hospitality space has been created by Pierattelli Architetture from the redevelopment of Palazzo Matteotti, a neoclassical building in Florence: the Italian studio has designed 6 apartments where the guest is at the centre of the project and the domestic atmosphere blends in with hotel facilities and comfort. Pierattelli Architetture’s engagement with the world of hospitality follows major projects such as M7 Contemporary Apartments, Domux Home and Number Nine Hotel. The studio’s work pursues a concept of hospitality where comfort is combined with design, in the name of elegant spaces able to meet the desire to feel at home even when travelling.

The space of over 600 square metres covers three floors and an attic, accommodating six two- and three-room solutions, ranging from 75 to 110 sqm. Each apartment comes with rooms, a living area, kitchen and all the necessary comforts to get the most out of the travel experience, sunk in a timeless atmosphere.

The formal simplicity of the furnishings is also to be found in the tables and chairs, such as the famous Wishbone Chair by Carl Hansen & Son, in the Arclinea kitchen and Lema wardrobes. The bathrooms reflect the concept of the entire project, with white walls flanked by blue-veined travertine surfaces, furnishings by Ceramica Cielo, elegant accessories and black radiators by IB Rubinetterie and Tubes Radiatori. Iconic Flos pieces were chosen for the lighting, including the IC Light by Michal Anastassiades, Aim by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec and Clessidra by Antonio Citterio. A small garden at the back of the building allows ground floor apartment guests to enjoy an outdoor relaxation area.

Each piece of architecture is conceived as a taylor made creation, shaped not only around the client, but also around the context in which it is placed. Reinterpreting the past and imagining the future become, therefore, the main foundation of Pierattelli Architetture’s works and realizations. The projects of the studio, with almost 40 years of experience behind it, range from directional centres to large infrastructures, from hotels to houses, from industrial spaces to design. Among the most famous are: the Arval offices at Scandicci (Florence), the Learning Center, Auditorium and Turbine Building for GE Oil & Gas in Florence, the Kortimed business centre in Valencia, UnipolSai Villa Cicogna and Learning Center in Bologna, the luxury apartment hotels Domux Home, M7Contemporary Apartments and the hotel Number 9 in Florence, the Cariprato headquarters in Prato.
