Apartment
in Casa Rustici

Milano

This project involves the renovation of an apartment located in Casa Rustici, a building designed by Giuseppe Terragni and Pietro Lingeri.

The work focuses on maximizing the living spaces in relation to the existing windows and dimensions.

Some existing furniture pieces have been kept but adjusted to better fit into the overall layout.

The very limited dimensions of the dining room have been perceptually expanded through the use of very narrow vertical mirrors hung on one of the longest walls and composed together like a picture, the use of a transparent glass and plexiglass table to minimize its volume, and the use of chairs with a very light steel structure.

The ceiling has also been lowered as much as possible - to the height of the window - and carved into with a concave stepped design. This was done to transform it into a significant chandelier.
