This 170-square-meter private residence is located in one of the most iconic buildings designed by Architect Venturino Ventura in 1969 and overlooks the St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. The apartment has been fully renovated while respecting and maintaining the original atmosphere and flair, featuring a contemporary and sophisticated style created SOPRU Studio.
From the moment you enter the accommodation, the vibrant greenery visible through the large windows instantly enchants guests. The inviting living space features a sumptuous sofa and bold leather armchair. Natural light floods in, amplifying the warmth of the parquet flooring. Elegant works of art adorn the walls, further enhancing the apartment’s decor.
Moving on to the kitchen, the layout retains its original contours, demonstrating a concern for historical accuracy. Elegant stainless steel storage units nicely counterbalance the traditional tiling, paying homage to a bygone era. This culinary space harmoniously combines utility and aesthetics, making it both practical and visually captivating.
Next to the kitchen, the dining area features an exquisite glass table, complemented by minimalist seating. Soft curtains dress the windows, creating a cozy setting ideal for intimate gatherings. The crystal chandelier overhanging the room adds a touch of elegance and casts a refined light over the entire space.
In the cozy corner of the apartment, a simple yet comfortable design prevails. A bespoke banquette and circular table create the ideal atmosphere for casual dining or morning brews, combining comfort and elegance.
The bedroom is a peaceful sanctuary, embellished with deep, rich hues and a subtle pattern on the headboard. Well-chosen lighting radiates warmth, creating an environment conducive to relaxation and rest.
In the bathrooms, contemporary design blends perfectly with opulence. The refined curves of the furniture stand out against the crisp white walls. Strategically positioned accessories enhance functionality, elevating these spaces to true resting places.
Rebecca Prunali, founder of SOPRU Studio, eloquently sums up the spirit of this undertaking: “Reimagining a space that has been carefully crafted in the past presents both challenges and pleasures. Our aim was to create a modern, sophisticated style while respecting the apartment’s historic features.
