The inspiration behind this project was to create a space that unfolds like a series of secret rooms, reminiscent of Milan's historic city center. The aim was to transcend the structure of the ancient building through contemporary design, ensuring a modern atmosphere. Additionally, it was crucial to provide adequate natural lighting for all spaces, achieved by creating new openings that allow light to filter through a large skylight in the living area to the more private rooms.

The heart of the house revolves around the living room, characterized by a double row of five operable skylights and a fixed glass box measuring 7x2 meters. Surrounding this space are the kitchen, the fireplace with sofas and the TV area, the study area, and the music area, embellished by a small terrace enriched with a vertical green wall. The double-height entrance area acts as a hinge between the spaces of the three bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom.
