DUPLEX RC | Rocco Borromini

The apartment is on the top two floors of a beautiful historical building. It has undergone a complete refurbishment that has affected both the distribution and the finishes. Today it consists of a living and kitchen area, four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a laundry room. The zenith light pervades the duplex from the skylights, underlining the relationship between the volumes of the mezzanine and the floor below. This relationship is emphasized by a strong contrast between the light color of most of the walls and the black of some elements that fit with them. For the entire apartment, an antique oak floor was chosen, laid in a herringbone pattern and with a glossy finish. The designed furniture evokes a style of the past that combines with the search for a minimalism that softens its tones. The vertical connection, hidden from view from the living area, consists of a very high wall covered with wallpaper and a staircase covered with carpet.
