STAIRWAY, NICHE AND STORAGE – CAMPI HOUSE

For this completely renovated Milan apartment, limited space required an innovative solution for reaching the rooftop terrace while maximizing living and storage space. The volume taken up by a chimney was redirected within one of the walls – and reappears on the terrace as a striking prism of stainless steel – while a bespoke staircase, with hidden storage closet, was built into the wall along with a lighted display niche visible from both the living room and the terrace.

TEAKWOOD TERRACE SCREEN – CARDARELLI HOUSE

The owners of this Roman penthouse apartment requested a screen that could run the full length of their terrace to gain an outdoor 'room', ideal for entertaining, while still allowing for the free flow of air. The solution was a series of made-to-measure steel frames – clad with custom-milled, solid teakwood slats – mounted on a larger steel frame that connected back to the house to allow for the eventual mounting of awnings in the summer.

MINT MARKET MILAN
