LA CASA MILLERIGHE
Linearity with a sea view
Taking on the surrounding beauty , capturing it through light and material , surfaces and colour , before giving it back with a harmonious and evocative overall design featuring a geometric , fluid and sleek architectural design , which expresses itself through the refined linearity of the whole and the continuous perspective interplay of its components .
These are the distinctive features of La Casa Millerighe , the most recent renovation and interior design project by architect Valentina Autiero , founder of the eponymous architectural practice based in Vico Equense , Naples : the property in question is a residence with sea view of 100 m2 , formerly a vacation home to spend limited periods of time in , but now a family home for year-round daily living , located in the evocative context of the Sorrento peninsula .
On the first site visit , the living space proved to be ideal for a typical Mediterranean vacation home for rest and relaxation , conviviality and time spent in company : limited common living space , lots of beds and the integrated use of the large panoramic wraparound terrace .
The presence of a square floor plan free on three of its four sides allowed for a total redistribution of the spaces with a strong and constant focus on the dynamic dialogue between the environments and the natural light they receive , an essential priority for their correct functional distribution in the new architectural and design context . The design thus tore up the old floor plan , delineating a space marked by fluid and interactive open-plan areas , where the customer ' s various different needs and requirements are answered perfectly thanks to unconventional interpretations of the spaces and custom made-to-measure furniture .
The regular and consequent flow of parallel lines emerges as a common thread in the entire design interpretation of the space and its individual rooms and areas , which it suggests and defines through constant reference to geometries , alignments and projections : what emerges is a residence set apart by a fluid and dynamic scheme , inside which the different spaces follow on from each other with continuous connections and visual references , stylistic and chromatic .
