Passo Passo Reimagines a Historic Gatehouse for Contemporary Life

Passo Passo Reimagines a Historic Gatehouse for Contemporary Life

Passo Passo turns an early 20th-century gatehouse in Como, Italy into a compact house by Parentesi Studio for a young couple who joined the work on site. The project keeps the villa entrance intact while reworking interiors step by step, pairing restored elements with measured contemporary interventions. Across basement, two main floors, and a newly usable attic, it traces a precise balance between memory and present-day living.
