Casa F. by CLACstudio
Casa F. is an apartment in Roma, Italy, redesigned by CLACstudio. The studio recasts daily rooms with custom furniture, a colored metal screen, and a carefully tuned lighting program. Completed in 2023, the project balances easy circulation with a lively palette that keeps the home crisp yet warm.
Morning light washes across oak floors, catching on an orange-framed mesh that bisects the core. Through the perforations, the kitchen stays visibly present while the living room holds its calm.
An apartment in Rome by CLACstudio, Casa F. focuses on interior palette and furnishing as the engine of layout and mood. The architects draw lines with custom metalwork and made-to-measure carpentry, then temper them with soft seating, graphic art, and a collection of characterful lamps.
Screen Sets The Tone
A colored metal screen divides cooking from lounging without shutting conversation down. Its green mesh and orange frame form a crisp datum that organizes view lines and brings energy to the heart of the home. A slim snack counter runs along the partition with stools tucked beneath, turning the boundary into a social edge. It reads as furniture more than wall.
Dining In View
The dining table sits center stage, aligned with the screen so those seated face the cook as well as the living room. Overhead, a linear lamp with globes throws even light and doubles as a visual ruler across the room’s length. White molded chairs keep the ensemble light. Conversation travels easily.
Made-To-Measure Storage
Black cabinetry lines the galley, pairing with patterned floor tiles for a clean, graphic read. In the living area, a wall-mounted shelving system threads books and objects between slender uprights, adding rhythm without bulk. A long, faceted desk slices through the entry and continues into the bedroom, where three dark posts mark a gentle threshold to a compact work nook. Everything is tailored, nothing oversized.
Light As Furniture
Lighting becomes its own collection, from a tripod floor lamp to globe pendants and delicate sconces. Each piece sets a pool of brightness that clarifies tasks and softens edges at night. The result is layered rather than loud, letting the oak underfoot and the mesh plane carry color. The homeowner’s passion for illumination is palpable.
Color In The Bath
Bathrooms echo the living core with metal-framed glass and a mesh door, then shift to cool blues around basins and shower platforms. Black fittings punctuate the pale envelope, giving crisp outlines to compact rooms. The palette stays simple. Texture does the rest.
As daylight fades, the screen glows softly and the oak floor warms under lamplight. The apartment holds a clear order and an easy tempo—proof that a few precise moves, well crafted, can carry daily life with grace.
