The house thus appears as a container with almost museum features : punctuated by large openings that connect one room to another and by large panoramic windows with white profiles , it looks like an art gallery in which the furnishings and accessories can be read in the same way as a permanent collection . Contemporary paintings with black frames , sculptures , antiques and geometric pendant lamps help to design a calibrated sequence , where spaces are mostly left empty with the only objective of emphasizing the furnishings .
Completely total white except for the paintings and the floor , the kitchen develops in a narrow and long room and has a large central island in the center , equipped with a cooking area , sink and integrated snack top . The top was made of Lapitec in Michelangelo Satin finish , and the use of a single slab over 3 meters long allowed to create a continuous surface without any junction marks . The 12 mm thick rib also has the same finish as the top , thanks to the ‘ full-body ’ composition of Lapitec . Finally , the sink , the top and the relative splashback of the wall system are always made of Lapitec Michelangelo Satin for a pure result and a monolithic look .
The subtle veins that decorate the surface renew the architectural firm ’ s desire to re-read materials and elements typical of classicism , but in a new dimension : no longer using traditional stone , but sintered stone , which while retaining the warmth and charm of natural materials , guarantees higher performance , also in a sustainable way . The composition of Lapitec is in fact completely free of inks , resins and other toxic additives : an essential detail for AK Praxis , member of the Sustainable Building Council of Greece and BREEAM LICENSED ASSESOR company ( GreenBookLive . com ), which like the company has always made sustainability the cornerstone of its working philosophy .
