A Single Man House Reframes an Artist’s Atelier Into a Haven of Height

A Single Man House occupies a storied street in Rome, Italy, transformed by Margutta Architetture into an apartment that preserves the atelier’s towering proportions. The studio-to-home conversion balances street life with a quiet garden outlook, pairing structural remediation with deft insertions—an iron stair, a slim walkway, and a rigorously ordered library wall—to organize two levels. Its character comes from height and light, yet the plan feels precise and assured.
