Inspired by the idyllic Verdi Park adjacent to the apartment, the interior unfolds as a neutral backdrop, embracing the artwork and purging superfluous elements.
This essentialization reflects the residents’ commitment to prioritizing a stripped-down lifestyle. Material selections were meticulously chosen to complement the artwork’s chromatics.
We prioritized natural, breathable materials such as mineral-based finishes, solid wood elements, and untreated surfaces, aiming to enhance well-being through a connection with nature.
The boundaries between interior and exterior dissolve, thanks to the expansive loggia that frames the park as a living tableau. This interplay between seasons, captured in the artwork, breathes life into the modest space, creating a sense of depth and expansiveness.

Through essentialization and a profound connection to nature, the Rachmaninov 38 apartment becomes a haven of simplicity, fostering a meaningful and peaceful existence for its inhabitants.
