Raphael’s Refugium is an apartment located in Graz, Austria, designed by LOVE architecture and urbanism in 2025. This distinctive space, previously an office loft, was envisioned as a hybrid concept for a young art dealer, seamlessly integrating living and gallery elements through high ceilings, sculptural furniture, and fluid interior arrangements, blurring the lines between functionality and artistic expression.

The project originates from a design competition for the renovation of a penthouse apartment in an early 20th-century building near Villa Torlonia in Rome. The Casa Ance apartment is intended as a guest residence for the Italian national association of building companies, and the project addressed the need for a clear distinction between the “public” and private areas of the house to serve both as a private residence and a venue for meetings and gatherings.
