An urban retreat beneath the rooftops of Milan
Private residence, Milan
2025
An urban retreat beneath the rooftops of Milan, conceived as a silent composition. Upon entering, the soft anthracite darkness envelops the space, while light filters through distant openings, guiding the gaze.
The kitchen, black like a closed piano, dialogues with marble and mirrors, opening seamlessly into the living area: a light sofa, a Wunderkammer-like bookshelf and a central DJ booth, a quiet manifesto of the owner’s passions.
The two-tone staircase, between off-white and off-black, marks the rhythm of the house and leads to the more intimate spaces. The master bedroom, immersed in sage green, is conceived as a flexible retreat between light and silence.
The guest room welcomes like a small hotel suite, defined by a horizontal band in deep sage and a linen lit de repos. It is a tribute to filoxenia, the Greek concept of hospitality: beauty as a gesture of respect toward those who arrive from afar.
This home is not only designed, but written: a place for those who travel and wish to return, for those seeking spaces that welcome without overwhelming.
