A lifelong dream
An ancient “roccolo” — a typical and small lodge
where bird-catchers used to hide and set traps
— surrounded by greenery, between memory and
contemporary design
Bagno privato con arredi
su misura sfruttando
ogni spazio possibile
(Zenucchi arredamento).
A one-of-a-kind abode, an ancient “roccolo” sur-
rounded by greenery, wrapped in hornbeam and
overlooking the city of Bergamo with a breathtak-
ing view. A wish that comes true.
The interior design — managed by Zenucchi Arre-
damento — complies with the memory of the past
by adding minimal contemporary design elements
to leave room for the natural setting. The preser-
vative renovation works carried out by Studio Zam-
belli have been essential too.
The house develops on four long and narrow levels
with openings on all sides: a composition that
required a lot of creativity and experience to be
furnished.
Zenucchi team stated: “We started from the
ground floor, from an old wooden staircase that
has been completely redesigned and replaced with
a very modern and light waxed iron plate staircase
that leads to the crawl space. We decided to reuse
wood as a protective barrier; however, we came up
with a new look and functionality.” The staircase
goes hand in hand with a tailor-made bookcase
that perfectly matches the Rosso Verona marble,
kept in its original condition and used for the
staircase that leads to the basement too.
In this abode, you can enjoy an atmosphere full of
memories but also precious and natural materials.
That is the reason why some selected pieces are
design icons: the Eames lounge chair and ottoman
by Vitra in its original version, the Cassina LC4
chaise longue and the Doge table designed by Car-
lo Scarpa for Cassina which lets the light seep in
thanks to its characteristic transparency and leads
the gaze towards the kitchen and the living area.
On the first floor, the master bedroom is a tai-
lor-made space with a one-of-a-kind design that
enhances beauty and comfort. The modern bath-
room has been equipped with a shower cabin that
features chromotherapy. A classy touch in the
reading area: a small armchair — in green velvet
to deliberately blend in with the outdoor setting
— placed in front of the incredible view in addition
to a clear and light table, almost unnoticeable.
One of the two daughters’ rooms — with en-suite
bathroom — is located in the crawl space, com-
pletely restored and renovated.
“In this case too — the Zenucchi team commented
—, a tailor-made design was essential in order
to follow the lines and the shapes of the wood-
en mansard roof. The guest bathroom has been
placed in the basement, by taking advantage of
the natural recess created by the wall thickness.”
This well-structured project required various
measures implemented by Zenucchi’s experience,
professionalism and passion.
