Penthouse in Sicily

A modern apartment, a penthouse of light rediscovered thanks to radical restoration. The previous interior room arrangement has been totally modified by the interceding design; it has reversed the location of the living area, now located along the southwest-facing terrace, illuminated by large picture windows. The heart of the project is the storage unit made of oak and glass, envisioned as a semi-transparent wing and hinging element between the living and sleeping areas. A concrete shelf supported between two glass panels, brush-finished with a special protective resin, divides the large kitchen-living area from the salon, unifying the various rooms of the apartment into a unique expressive symbol. Fluidity and expansion of space, lightness and luminosity, are the fundamentals of this project. The unobstentatious and functional furniture, mostly made to measure, is the mark of comfort, as is the master bathroom conceived and realised as a personal spa.
