Apartment in Central Milan

An apartment in a period building in Milan, reworked in white, oak and marble. Herringbone floors and the original fireplace stay; arched niches, soft light and rounded furniture make it calm.

Living and dining

One long room holds the sitting area, the dining table and the media wall. Bouclé armchairs, a pale rug and arched niches lit from within keep it soft; the herringbone floor and the original marble fireplace keep it rooted in the building.

Kitchen

Oak and white marble, with a breakfast bar turned towards the window. Tall units carry the ovens, a glass pantry is lit like a display case, and an arc of globe lights draws the room together.

Bedrooms and bathrooms

White panelling, linen and brass. The main bedroom has a backlit mirror, the second a canopy bed under a high ceiling. The bathrooms are in white marble with freestanding tubs, black metal shelving and a small gallery of framed pictures.
