INTERIORS & INTERIOR DESIGN

STUDIO SVETTI ARCHITECTURE

The private house G103 in Arezzo is made from the fusion of white and black , the yin and yang inside an interior design project and interpreted as colours of transformation and evolution . The same transition the owners experienced from a couple to a family translates into the union of the two colours , and in the balance , the Tao .
The choice to base the design of this house on these two antithetical colours is not simply a style exercise but is rooted in an aesthetic , symbolic and even archaic imagery . It only unconsciously resonates inside , transmitting a sense of extreme strength from which everything originates and is transformed .
The house , originally a single-family house was the subject of restructuring with the subsequent division into two property units . The subject of the division was the southern part of the building . In order to generate a residence that unfolds on three different levels , articulating the various daily phases of the family unit , the basement with service spaces and garage , the ground floor for daytime activities ( living , kitchen and dining area ) and finally the first floor , entirely dedicated to the bedrooms . The ambience is distinguished by white surfaces with a velvet touch and wooden oak floors painted with deep black satin . It is characterized by the extreme formal rigor and cleanliness of lines , creating at times natural moments of chaos through the inclusion of studio designed furniture .
