Semi-detached designer apartment with garden​

A detached solution on the ground floor of a 1970s villa recently renovated in a contemporary mood by a well-known architect. The project led to the creation of an open space with large windows that allows the view of the garden to be enjoyed from any part of the house. Large movable dividers allow the different rooms to be separated, if necessary. From the concrete door on the street you can enter a patio paved in teak with three centuries-old olive trees and enclosed by high perimeter walls, a true extension of the house to the outside. A large bay window with a swinging door replaces the entrance door and leads to the living room, dominated by the large square fireplace, treated with a cement resin in natural tones. The kitchen, open onto the living room, consists of a lava stone monobloc and a wall unit with walnut feather doors. In the sleeping area, two large sliding glass panels conceal a small fitness area and a bathroom entirely clad in lava stone slabs. A small terraced garden with lemon trees and native plants serves the area that includes the bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and master bathroom. Although the minimalist look is the dominant note of the interior, with its strict, square lines in grey, many details characterize the space. The ceilings house an almost invisible system of lights, which warm the environment, vertical cuts create sophisticated light effects, and natural iron panels cover the radiators. Particular attention is paid to the air conditioning system, which allows air to be cooled through perimeter slits in the false ceilings.
