Casa CZ Transformed by MOPA Architettura

Casa CZ is a redesigned apartment in Rome, Italy, completed in 2019 by MOPA Architettura. This 130-square-meter residence features a modern and functional interior, incorporating smart technology and natural materials. The redesign focused on creating distinct living, sleeping, and working areas, emphasizing a contemporary style enhanced by natural tones and lighting.

Functional and Contemporary Design

MOPA Architettura has refurbished a bright 130-square-metre apartment in Rome’s Garbatella district, creating a contemporary and functional residence while incorporating smart technology throughout.

The Italian studio’s renovation involved adapting an existing layout to fulfil the specific distribution requirements requested by the clients, resulting in distinct spaces for living, sleeping and working.

Custom-Made Furnishings

“With this project, we aimed to create a smart and connected house equipped with home automation systems and lighting designed for the client’s needs,” the studio told Nestling Nestled.

Upon entering the apartment, a spacious hallway leads to a choice of rooms. Directly ahead through double doors is the dual-aspect living room featuring bespoke shelving designed to house books and technology.

Adjacent to this is a connected kitchen with professional appliances and a central peninsula counter, facing the living area to facilitate interactions.

Across the hallway is a guest room that can be easily adapted for use as a study, while the rest of the layout comprises two bedrooms, a laundry room, a bespoke corridor with fitted storage, built-in wardrobes and two bathrooms.

A walk-in closet acts as a transition between the master bedroom and the ensuite bathroom.

Consistent Natural Materials

Consistent natural and soft materials run throughout the renovated spaces, with wide windows and recessed lighting creating a play of light and shadows.

“The LED strips inserted illuminate and define the various settings, allowing a suggestive alternation of direct and indirect light,” MOPA Architettura added.

White walls form a neutral base that highlights the contrast between contemporary and traditional furniture.

A consistent palette and material choices visually unify the overall design, resulting in a refined, light-filled home that is organised and functional.

This was achieved while minimising construction time by prioritising the adherence to orders and timelines and maintaining strict communication with both the clients and contractors.
