CIS apartment is located in Busca (CN, Italy) inside a building in contact with the ancient city walls in an area on the edge of the old town that overlooks a tributary of the Maira. The apartment was built for a young professional with a passion for music and is spread over two levels above ground, a basement with garage and a playroom and the overhanging level with the house and an outdoor garden. The two levels are connected by an internal staircase and the apartment consists of a living area with an open kitchen overlooking the private garden and the sleeping area with wardrobes, bathroom and bedroom. The private sleeping area is characterized by a strong transparency between the various environments that includes, among other things, a glass corridor between the bed and the bathroom where the shower is located. The house is connected to the garden through the teak flooring that leads to the steps of the green and is equipped as a summer dining area. Two large vases sign the passage on the external platforms and the green area is partly bordered by ancient walls that have been preserved in their original state. A long blade of corten acts as a parapet to the garden as well as a shelf.

The passion for the music of the client is underlined by the double bass positioned in the living area.
