Parioli Penthouse by Carola Vannini
Designed by Carola Vannini, Parioli Penthouse is a renovated apartment located in Rome, Italy. The essential and welcoming interiors of the apartment were completed in 2025 and characterized by warm wood, stone and resin-patterned surfaces. The home features a dual-level design, complete with a functional kitchen and large terrace.

Big Openings With Pivot Doors
Four big openings with pivot doors dominate the large living room which opens towards the outdoor space. A series of wooden portals emphasize the functional areas of the living room, fireplace, dining room and open kitchen, while creating a multiplicity of overlapping perspectives. The relaxing tones of the plaster help create a cozy environment.

Giant Planked Parquet Floors
A parquet with giant planks was chosen for the floor with the aim of enhancing the space in which precious works of art complete the architecture while creating a perfect symbiosis.

Studied And Personalized Aspects
Every aspect has been studied and personalized, from the living room furnishings, to the coffee tables, to the fireplace, to the kitchen. The kitchen cabinets, entirely covered in stone material, recalls the precious stone cladding of some of the living room walls and the fireplace flue. The gaze thus bounces on different textures that range from the beige of the spatulated plaster, to the light gray of the stone, to the warm and natural wood of the floor and portals.

Practical Storage Furnishings
One of the kitchen doors hides a passage that leads to the pantry and the laundry room where practical storage furnishings increase the functionality of the house.

Numerous Openings Frame Colorful Views
The numerous openings towards the terrace frame colorful views where seats, armchairs, sofas and a large outdoor kitchen alternate in mutual exaltation.

Staircase Protagonist Of Filter Area
The protagonist of the filter area between the living room and the sleeping area is the staircase that leads to the upper floor, where there are a small gym, the office space and a bathroom. The staircase was conceived as an element that breaks with the absolute rigor of the dominant architectural lines. In order to enhance it, the color of the wood that covers it was chosen dark, so as to bring out the sinuous parapet and create a contrast with the rest of the flooring.

Two Bedrooms With Brass Sliding Doors
In the sleeping area there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom and bathroom directly overlook the terrace, continuing the visual and functional exchange between inside and outside. Two elegant brass sliding doors separate the bed area from the bathroom and the wellness area where there is a large Turkish bath. All bathrooms are covered in resin and each accessory is combined with the dominant color tones.
