Designing from the inside

means focusing attention on the space

on its functional

aesthetic and material qualities

and on examining the relationship between the project and its actual users.

The central issue is the interaction between form and users

what they "reciprocally make"

and how they appropriate each other.

In this interior, one circulates through new, changing landscapes dominated not by objects, but by the space itself: the passageways are crucial, embracing the dynamism of this small, constantly evolving nucleus.

Ours is a research project on interior architecture and the concepts of contemporaneity, usability, fluidity, flexibility, and elegance of the designed space.

The threshold into the bedroom is marked by the contracting rhythm of the floor.

The horizontal definition of the bedroom is entrusted to oak wood, with custom-designed slats of varying lengths; It is a transformable interior—also thanks to the velvet curtain—conceived as a fluid, moving space: it offers alternative paths, marked and delimited by the large curtain, but also by the individual volumes—clear tempered glass on the wall (shower) and ceiling (bathroom), positioned at a height of 2.40 meters, supported by structured plasterboard masonry—imagined as surfaces that reflect cheerfulness and light onto the ceiling and room walls, mending the space onto the existing fabric like a patch, bringing it back to humankind and its movement.
In the large shower, the sheet of glass becomes a backdrop.
In the bathroom, however, the colored tempered glass ceiling, looking upward, becomes a light that marks the space above.
The storage unit is designed in oak and is a versatile object, housing a large wardrobe, but also usable during the day when needed (TV, mini-bar, safe, kettle, etc.).
The way the cabinet doors open is a key strength of the project:
it is a diaphragm that, in its various configurations, delineates and declares the use and functionality of the space.
Furthermore, the individual city in which one resides is identified through large, reconfigurable volumetric panels, applied in three-dimensional films, designed to establish a dialogue with the place in which one resides and with one's emotions.
In this way, the primary concepts on which the entire project is based were reinforced:
localization and belonging to the place, subtraction, stratification.
