Considering the location of this apartment on the fifth floor of an original Milanese 1950s residential building – situated in the dense urbanized city centre – its new layout was developed through exploration of a maximal relation between the living areas and the view of the surrounding trees. The main spaces are divided by ‘functional volumes’ (containing for example the cloakroom, storage rooms, etc.) and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors, all fully clad in sandstone. Custom-made bronze window frames – that can be opened completely by sliding them into the façade – induce a nearly seamless connection with the greenery of the trees and the potted plants on the terraces around. Through thorough detailing of seamless junctions and high-end finishes, the apartment provides an ascetic, spacious yet luxurious experience. Its carefully selected, modest palette – sandstone cladding and oak floors – creates a simple and uniform whole, emphasizing the greenery positioned around the apartment. Meticulous detailing combined with brightly coloured accents of art and furnishings (such as the glazed terracotta pots in the colour of the 1950s façade tiles) produce an apartment with a uniquely pure yet calm character.
考虑到这套公寓位于米拉尼斯20世纪50年代的一座原住宅的五层-位于人口密集的城市中心-它的新布局是通过探索生活区与周围树木景观之间的最大关系而发展起来的。主要空间分为“功能空间”(包括衣帽间、储藏室等)。和从地板到天花板的滑动门，全部都裹在砂岩里。定制的青铜窗框-可以通过滑动它们完全打开-与周围露台上的树木和盆栽植物的绿色植物几乎无缝地连接在一起。通过详细的无缝连接和高端装修，公寓提供了一个苦行僧，宽敞，但豪华的体验。它精心挑选的，温和的调色板-砂岩覆层和橡木地板-创造了一个简单和统一的整体，强调绿色植物周围的公寓。细致的细节，加上色彩鲜艳的艺术和家具(比如20世纪50年代外墙瓷砖中的釉面陶罐)，造就了一套独具特色的纯而平静的公寓。
