About Monolocale Effe

Integrating a Compact Sleeping Space

A compact volume housing the bed establishes its own hierarchy and path within the unified interior space of the apartment.

Creating Visual Connections with Selective Openings

The compact volume features carefully chosen openings to foster visual connections with the surrounding area.

Innovative Approaches to Furniture and Storage

The washbasin takes on the role of a furniture piece, while the closet transforms into a small, versatile textile system.

Preserving the Walls’ Historical Layers

The walls retain their stratification and markings from various periods, all treated equally without any preferential treatment. This approach offers a unique, multi-layered view of the space, where time’s decay holds intrinsic value.

Appreciating the Aesthetics of the Past

The anodized aluminum frames and handles from the 80s remain preserved, showcasing a distinct beauty that may be underappreciated today.
