About House in Correggio
Nestled in the heart of Correggio, Italy, stands the ‘House in Correggio’, a testament to Simone Testi’s mastery of industrial design. Completed recently, this residential gem transforms raw textures and modern elements into a harmonious sanctuary.
Industrial Elegance: A Seamless Transition from Nature to Structure
As one approaches the ‘House in Correggio’, the exterior immediately captivates. Lush greenery softly contrasts the exposed brick and weathered shutters, a nod to the home’s heritage and Testi’s thoughtful curation. Large, framed glass doors act as transparent veils, inviting the outdoors in and piquing curiosity about the life within.
A Symphony of Wood and Light
Stepping inside, the foyer greets guests with warm wooden tones and an open layout, hinting at the spatial magic that unfolds room by room. The wooden staircase, a sculptural centerpiece, spirals upward, drawing eyes to the intricate ceiling, where the original beams tell tales of time.
The living room seamlessly marries comfort with industrial chic. A sleek black staircase and platform create a dynamic space for relaxation and social gatherings, while the rhythmic pattern of the cushions echoes the structural lines around.
In the kitchen, functionality meets finesse. The clean lines of cabinetry and fixtures stand in elegant dialogue with the wooden flooring, and a strategically placed skylight bathes the room in natural light, making every meal a sunlit ceremony.
A Retreat of Modern Rusticity
The bathroom serves as a private retreat, where the simplicity of modern fixtures complements the warmth of wooden accents. Here, Testi’s design promotes serenity, with frosted glass ensuring privacy and a spa-like atmosphere.
Finally, the upper level offers a panoramic view of the living spaces below, a testament to the open, airy design that characterizes the ‘House in Correggio’. Each room, a chapter in a story of rejuvenation and artistic integrity, culminates in a residence that not only stands as a beacon of industrial design but also as a personalized haven reflective of Simone Testi’s visionary approach to architecture.
