seal, aligning the dwelling with the highest standards of energy efficiency. Particular attention was also paid to the recovery of the historical flooring and restoration of the original beauty of the seminato and national walnut parquet.
The entrance, in which the octanium colour of the walls enhances by contrast the brilliant abstract polychrome fresco by the artist Victoria Stoian, represented by Simondi Gallery, is characterised by a composition of fixed wall furniture custom-designed to host and display the owners’ art collection, while concealing the entrance door to the secondary services, perfectly integrated into the design. The entry hallway leads to the daytime area featuring a large living room and a dining room, both covered by large vaults painted with decorations that have conservatively undergone careful restoration, returning them to their original beauty. The kitchen is entirely custom-made with sartorial precision. The paneling alternates Alpi Smoked Oak with carefully selected Velvet Onyx slabs, which are positioned to reveal the continuity of their original veining.
The internal distribution path leading to the bedrooms and service rooms features a sequence of entirely custom-designed builtin furnishings, characterised by a composition of wood and natural stone surfaces, always illuminated by a constellation of light sources studied in detail. These functional containers conceal the service areas and, at the same time, determine the inclusion or exclusion from view of parts of the house, mimetically incorporating doors and passageways into the design. In the bathrooms, all the versatility of marble and onyx’ s expressive potential unfolds, with surprising colours and refined cuts, skillfully handcrafted by the historic Turin manufacturer Sommo Marmi. In the bedrooms, different spatial solutions are experimented with and defined through the design of an articulated system of custom-made furnishings. In the son’ s bedroom, the custom-made furniture is made of grey briarwood, while on the floor, a custom version of Listone Giordano’ s Biscuit parquet floor is applied. On the back wall, a niche that emerged during the renovation works has been transformed into a small suspended alcove.
