About Apartment SV39
Rediscovering Milan’s Architectural Gem
Nestled in the heart of Milan’s most elegant districts stands a once-forgotten top-floor apartment. Initially, it greeted us with visible signs of neglect. However, the client’s vision aimed to unveil its untapped potential, apparent yet challenging to envision.
Bridging Indoor and Outdoor Spaces
We promptly undertook the renovation of the apartment’s veranda, transforming it into a multifunctional area that seamlessly blends with the stunning external terrace. This renovation expanded the apartment’s interior by reclaiming the loft space behind the apartment, subsequently introducing a spacious living area and a bedroom with an adjoining petite walk-in closet.
The Innovative Veranda Transformation
The original veranda underwent a complete overhaul. Consequently, we positioned a central kitchen island with a table directly overlooking the outdoor zone. Thanks to sliding fixtures, this space effortlessly transitions from an indoor setting during winter to a hybrid indoor-outdoor ambiance in favorable seasons.
Harmonious Contrast: Our Signature Approach
Our design philosophy revolves around “harmonious contrast.” This is evident in the juxtaposition of the apartment’s bright interiors with the voluminous, predominantly black exterior of the veranda. This motif is subtly echoed in elements of both the living and sleeping areas.
An Outdoor Oasis in Milan’s Heart
The external terrace takes on a dual role, merging with the veranda and kitchen. In warmer seasons, this terrace evolves into a secondary living space, a reclaimed jewel in Milan’s core.
