Sky Loft Renovation Brings Light To A 1970s Turin Attic Apartment

Sky Loft is a 2025 apartment renovation in downtown Turin, Italy, by Valeria Eva Rossi. The former habitable attic, set in a prestigious 1970s building, replaces its uneven, dark layout with a brighter sequence shaped by large skylights, a restrained white-and-gray palette, and a taller living room marked by a faux beam that also holds services and lighting.

About Sky Loft

The last renovation of the habitable attic dates to the 1980s. In this 1970s building in downtown Turin, the large volume now reads with more light and less weight, thanks to a clearer plan and broad openings overhead.

Large skylights bring natural light deep into the apartment and make it part of daily life. The renovation also improves comfort, while the minimalist approach gives the attic a calmer order and a more usable layout.

A single chromatic volume defines the interior. Different shades of white and gray reinforce the brightness and frame the sloped ceiling, where fragments of sky seem to enter the rooms.

The apartment is organized around an entryway that leads to a spacious living room with an open kitchen, a walk-in closet, a bedroom-study, a bathroom with a laundry area, a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and a utility room. At the ridge, a 3.75-meter height allows for a faux beam in the living room, which sharpens the perspective while housing the HVAC system, the electrical backbone, recessed and semi-recessed lights, and LED strips for indirect illumination.
