Casa Appia Antica

In this interior, the stairs enhance the intense formal bond that they already have by nature with the section
through the choice of material and colors, they act as a three-dimensional element of great visual appeal.

It is a house on four floors and three stairs, each different:
stripped of the superfetations that oppressed them and made "finally" protagonists of a unitary sign,
they design the space, dividing the vertical path into several stations, diversified by the functions of "being".

These stairs tell the story of the passages crossed that transform into interior landscapes, but not only:
they narrate the feeling of the man who crosses them

modulating the light not in its luminous power but in its inextinguishable strength in making emerge
other, the other, in its variability, in its interaction.

In some views they talk to each other, in pairs, creating pauses and ensuring that the enchantment is always around the corner, for the light and the shadow (natural/artificial) never the same, for the transparencies, for the overlapping and for the color.

They were made of reinforced concrete and covered with continuous slabs of colored stoneware: blue-aviation,
green-sage, beige-gold. The railings made of sheet metal, with numerically controlled perforations.
Here the light is just a single brief moment of an experience.
