Here sober, elegant furnishings and accessories play with shades of grey and  transparencies. There is an interesting contrast between the rough and smooth surfaces, between the strong colours and the fading of certain perspectives.

You are guided through a curved wall, whose surface treatment recalls the visual and tactile sensation of raw concrete, and the floor of the living area is made of large slabs of smooth slate. The glass walls and flooring which continues from the living room onto the terrace help to create a unique link with the external environment.
The living room is dominated by a highly distinctive object: the suspended fireplace, the focal point of the room, which creates a wonderful contrast with the spareness, the simplicity and refinement of the rest of the environment.

To give a more intimate and welcoming atmosphere to the sleeping area, the warmest shades have been used, from brown coconut parquet and green leaf on the walls. Coating the bath with marble Zebrino slabs emphasizes the choice of colours and creates a strong contrast with the black and white. The Gessi taps are made of steel.
