Article source: m12 AD Over the last twenty years, Italian design, inspiration and manufacturing have been applied several times to the world of luxury boats. Over the years, demanding owners and lovers of aesthetics have commissioned the creation of interiors for luxurious mega yachts that reflect the intimacy of a private home. Made in Italy interior design has conquered nautical design by changing its aesthetics, increasingly linked to collecting and to the creation of custom made pieces, but always in the name of flexibility, a necessary condition for the type of project.
m12 AD has revolutionized this trend by applying, on the contrary, the interior design of super-luxury boats to a house built on two levels in Puglia. The NARF project was born in this way: the client asked Michelangelo Olivieri, founder architect of m12 AD studio, to adapt a recently renovated house to the changed needs of a family of four people, but with an upper floor used as a deposit. The house in fact required a complete redesign to allow each member of the family to have their own space, to work, study and enjoy moments of relaxation or conviviality. The design philosophy of m12 AD has seen a scrupulous planning of the environments, pursuing maximum versatility, through a redesign inspired by the interiors of a yacht: timeless elegance, simple lines, fixed structures and containers for a fluid space without solution of continuity. The house, consisting of a living room, two bedrooms, three bathrooms and two walk-in closets, has been redesigned by making the old walls disappear and transforming each wall into a storage unit. The essentiality, also reflected in the choice of color tones, white, wood and blue, has given the project a sophisticated but at the same time relaxing, proper and minimal look, boosting natural light to the maximum. The flooring, made entirely of teak, enhanced the marine style, together with the matching with the midnight blue wallpaper and the white and teak lacquer of the furniture and kitchen. The flush-to-the-wall crystal doors have enhanced the feeling of being in an environment where each element, although fixed, seems to be connected to the adjacent one, as in a liquid space.
