Private Residences in a Historic Building – 560 sq.m Florence
Photography: Photographic Workshops

A large residence located on the top floor of a nineteenth-century building in the historic centre of Florence, retrieved together with its relative attic for the creation of five contemporary housing units arranged on several levels. The project, without upsetting the typological layout of the nineteenth-century residence, used the significant height of the pre-existing rooms (6 metres) to create mezzanines, double volumes and a series of further levels at different heights that allow the new homes to reach and use the coverage with the creation of new views and small open spaces. Made with a new philosophy of building intervention, each accommodation is studied in detail. The project involved all the details and every type of finish including all standard and custom furnishings.
