Art and modernity in an antique-style interior in a fascinating and unique location in the center of Milan. It is not a house, it is "the idea of home" where the loving meeting of male and female tastes takes place, between functionality and valuable ornamental details. The view from the residence located on the fourth and top floor of an early 20th century Neoliberty building in the city center is enchanting: the imposing facades of the Natural History Museum and the Royal Villa, framed by the greenery of the Indro Montanelli Gardens on one side, Palazzo Bovara with its Italian garden on the other hand, the lime trees of via Marina beyond which the spiers of the Duomo can be seen timidly, and the iconic skyline of Porta Nuova.
A unique setting, which is reflected in the stylistic imprint of the house, where prestige, unrivaled taste and hospitality meet and merge. Arches, wings and multiple entrances give dynamism to the spaces and fluidity to the perspective cuts: from the entrance, framed by a custom-made and backlit bookcase, a path winds its way that combines softness and linearity, warm comfort and almost no concession to minimalism. In the 300 square meters of the residence the common denominator is the enchanting material interweaving of details, where we find classic arches, fireplaces, restored stuccos and numerous antiqued mirror doors, designed to act as versatile movable wings that give a surprising effect of reflections views with ever-changing perspectives, and in the chevron geometry parquet, a carpentry masterpiece created with ancient Tuscan oak planks.
The triple living room runs parallel to the corridor, the fulcrum of the residence, embellished with boiserie that conceal countless retractable shelves; the division between hall, dining area and private room is marked by steps and a series of concrete partitions, which give the whole modernity. The large eat-in kitchen is embellished with a large rotating table in Carrara marble and the warm range of grays is designed to harmonize with the tobacco grain of the parquet and the wooden beam.
The sleeping area, located in the opposite wing of the apartment, is a combination of sobriety and style, with a master bedroom conceived as a suite, with generous dimensions, entirely wrapped in suede, the walk-in closet equipped with infinite storage spaces , the sumptuous salle de bain where you can experience exotic suggestions, a realm of delightful details for self-care. Two further bedrooms and two bathrooms covered in precious marble and original ethnic-style ceramics complete the layout of the sleeping area.
"The domestic dress" is completed with lights, magnificent jewels that embellish any environment and give a magical atmosphere. A simple button activates the electric windows, and as if by magic, the lights pervade every room with allure and sparkles, enhancing the art objects and representing the very soul of this incredible residence.
