MP apartment: the space around the pillar ( which you can’t see)
The living area of this apartment was revolving around a pillar. So we played the game and we made it the fulcrum of the interior design project: it became half fireplace and half furniture, and it visually separates two areas. This is one of the strategies of our architecture firm: the constraints if respected become opportunities.
MP apartment: a dream to realize
The MP apartment was originally built in order to enjoy the view of Caldonazzo lake, near the village of S. Cristoforo, traditionally considered “Trento’s beach”.
The apartment is surrounded by gardens and orchards and has a beautiful view on the lake. It is has three floors, plus a basement: the living area is on the ground floor, the bedrooms are on the first floor and a study and hobby/relax room on the attic floor. The main façade faces south, maximizing the benefits of the winter sun.
MP apartment: our project between interior design, outdoor spaces design and construction
The furniture project is based on the observation of the surrounding landscape and the analysis of the actions that take place there; the lake, which mirrors mountains covered by forests, is able to evoke images of great freedom, such as practising outdoor sports, relaxing, but also resting, feeling protected, taking time to think. The furniture, with its sequence of full spaces, the working time. and empty spaces, the leisure time, evokes the need to find a new balance between opposites, to regenerate both body and mind. Natural vegetable and mineral materials are used, such as oak, as a cladding for floors and walls, and lime plaster, which is both practical, and extremely comfortable. Vegetable and minerals materials are also used for the garden, which is the place where the wild and the domestic landscape melt into one another, wood is used for the paving and pergola that casts a shadow onto the barbecue, Levocell characterizes both the sidewalk entrance and the vase-bench, grass and hedges almost enter into the living area.
This area has been carefully planned to create a unique space: a piece of furniture placed in the middle, as if it were a totem, multiplies and creates many different spaces, this way it allows people to stay together and to use the living room at the same time for different activities. There is a kitchen, breakfast area, dining room, tv and relax area; the central piece of furniture, which has by now become the functional focus, it’s not only a fireplace, but it is also a versatile closet, almost like a boat locker, such as those that, on sunny days, sail on the lake.
