Apartments and Lofts in Former Factory by Burnazzi Feltrin Architetti
Apartments and Lofts in Former Factory project brings five single-level homes to Trento, Italy, with Burnazzi Feltrin Architetti guiding a nuanced conversion from workshop to dwellings. The real estate typology focuses on loft living, split between two apartments with separate bedrooms and three open-plan lofts, each oriented for light and privacy. Industrial traces meet new material discipline and color, creating rooms that feel gathered over time yet rigorously composed.
The path slips past grasses and nandina. Ahead, tripartite glazed doors recall the old workshop bays and pull daylight into the former factory floor.
These are five single-level homes in Trento by Burnazzi Feltrin Architetti, organized as two apartments and three lofts. The throughline sits inside: a layered interior palette that balances industrial memory with warm craft and playful detail.
Calibrate Light and Privacy
North-facing apartments read calm and even. South-facing lofts take in a brighter arc of sun through large, tripartite doors modelled on the building’s original openings, with perforated privacy film that screens without killing the view. New aluminum frames finished in beige-grey align with the resin flooring, so the threshold feels resolved rather than raw.
Set The Industrial Tone
Demolition stayed minimal. Internal partitions, new systems, and fresh interior and exterior doors retool the shell while preserving its workshop legibility—then the palette goes to work. Beige-grey frames pair with black hooks and light fixtures for crisp contrast, and LED spotlights wash corridors and bathrooms at night with an even, quiet glow.
Kitchen As Open Shelf
Here, the kitchen refuses overhead cabinets. Open shelves keep cookware and everyday pieces in sight, turning utility into display while the dining table gathers chairs in recycled wood composite. It’s a clear, practical move that leaves the wall plane light and lets color drift in via seat cushions and small objects.
Warm Grain, Soft Color
Each living area starts with a generous sofa bed and two poufs. The rooms lean on a mix of modern pieces, vintage finds, and eco-design furniture, an apparently casual yet coherent blend that reads collected, not staged. Vintage mountain posters add low-key nostalgia, their muted tones playing against the resin floor’s quiet sheen.
Sleep With Structure
The sleeping zone lands a clear focal point. A four-poster bed in acacia wood sets rhythm and warmth, with the same timber carrying into bedside shelves, luggage racks, and even humble cutting boards. That material continuity steadies the composition while leaving room for color to move in textiles.
Baths With Green Life
Every bathroom draws daylight through generous windows. Hanging pothos trail like a light greenhouse, moderating humidity while softening the hard lines; stencil textures whisper “Relaxation,” and Tic-Tac-Toe-like graphics on glazing add a touch of play. It’s a small, humane counterpoint to metal, resin, and glass.
A planted path—grasses and nandina to the north, a hornbeam hedge to the south—guides the approach. Evening lands, and the LED points carry a gentle brightness, letting the rooms hold their color and grain without glare.
