About Budi Budi

Elegance in Turin’s Heart

Perched in Turin’s core, an apartment offers sweeping views of a prominent square.

Unlocking Potential: Ceiling Revelations

Only 2/3 of the space was initially utilized. However, a meticulous renovation unveiled stunning ceilings reaching 4.60 mt (15.09 ft). This discovery pivoted the design focus. Now, the home boasts dual layers in every room, utilizing transparent materials like glass and metal.

Versatile Living Spaces

The living area introduces a cozier sitting space, perfect for family moments. Bedrooms feature additions: one hosts a walk-in closet, the other a study. Meanwhile, the service area cleverly hides storage and laundry facilities upstairs.

Blending Modernity with Tradition

While new elements exude a modern flair, the wood flooring nostalgically reflects Turin’s bourgeois charm. Previously hidden frescoes now shimmer in their restored glory. Contrasting this, green Alps marble adorns custom furnishings, like the kitchen counter.

A Playful Architectural Journey

The entire project embodies a delightful dance. Throughout, the architect artfully wove remnants of the past with contemporary requirements.
