In the heart of the historic Sant'Ambrogio neighborhood in Milan, the architect Jacopo Bonini from AB Studio Architettura, has completed a renovation that transforms an early 20th-century house into a livable work of art.
The residence, bright and filled with artworks, retains original features such as the marble fireplace, oak parquet flooring, and boiseries, while a careful interior restyling has restored its former glory.
The project redefined the spaces following the original shapes of the parquet, creating an environment that revolves around a central cube. This element divides the functions of the living area: the entrance, the living room, the dining room, and the kitchen, in a symphony of perfectly coordinated colors with a touch of “pop” soul.
The living room is dominated by Mario Bellini's Camaleonda sofas, accompanied by an imposing chandelier by Lindsey Adelman and the famous Taccia lamp by Achille Castiglioni.
Among the displayed artworks are "Il Matrimonio" by Plinio Mesciulam, the hand retouched photos by Mario Schifano, the study on the deviation of squares by Eugenio Carmi above the fireplace, and an important study on the golden ratio by Lorenzo Bonini in the dining room, next to a ceramic plate by Arnaldo Pomodoro.
While maintaining a sophisticated character in stylistic choices, this house stands out for its contemporary and functional spatiality, offering a perfect balance between art and livability.
