The architectural project in question was a house dating from the ’50s which at the time of construction was considered very characteristic both for its form and bold colors.
This is a family home with sentimental value, handed down through two generations which for their historical, social and cultural context were diametrically opposed. On the one hand, the austerity and the classicism of the postwar years on the other the simplicity and modernity of the current times.
Although the exterior shell was maintained, some significant changes were carried out starting with a drastic improvement to the home’s energy efficiency.
An absolute white theme was rigorously pursued, both internally and externally. Candid white surfaces are a recurring element and have been associated with very modern, lacquered and polished materials and wall finishes. Similarly furniture and furnishings continue this aspect of purity and rigor with just a few bursts of color to add character.
