Graceful Courtyard House | NOS Design

A corner of paradise in the chaotic heart of Rome.

Housed in an elegant building from the beginning of the century, the house is built around a quiet courtyard shape that preserves the building from the busy streets, despite being located right by St. Peter’s and Castel Sant Angelo in the heart of the capital.
The architectural project was directed to the opening of the living environment, while intending to keep both the living room and kitchen as close together as possible in an open space.

While maintaining the two nuclei-storeroom in the shape of C, it was decided to demolish the partition between the two, below the mezzanine with access from the kitchen, then proceeding to a detailed design of the new wall-filter. The two white cabinet doors, narrow and almost invisible, frame the wide iron central access by the “industrial” character, in its tripartite sense of length and height.
So today the perception of entering the main access of the house is that of a single large room.
