A central partition acts as the focal point of a circular pathway that connects all the spaces in a fluid and versatile layout, while its mirrored surface creates the illusion of visual continuity. The large central shower serving the two bathrooms is the key element of this circular path, a solution designed to maximize space usage without compromising practicality. The spatial continuity is further emphasized by the choice of finishes, which spread evenly across all surfaces of the house.



The design of this apartment in the heart of NoLo, has led to the creation of a fluid floor plan, capable of adapting to the needs of the new owner, which include the versatility of the spaces and their mutual connection.
The main obstacle to overcome was the presence of a bearing wall that runs across the apartment. This barrier, impossible to eliminate, has therefore become the true focal point of a circular path composed of fluid and connected spaces. The living room, kitchen, and dining area are gathered around it, whose presence is cleverly concealed behind a full- length mirrored coating, creating a perfect illusion of spatial continuity.
From the living room, you can access a multi-functional room that can be used as either a study or guest room with its own private bathroom. Its position within the layout ensures flexibility of use as well as providing an alternative connection inside the house. The sliding polycarbonate doors guarantee privacy without sacrificing natural light or communication between the spaces. These industrial-inspired doors interact with the exposed concrete pillar and the built-in bookshelf made of black-painted iron shelves.
From the living area, after crossing a hallway with a striking burgundy color, you reach the master bedroom. The en-suite bathroom is a compact yet carefully designed space. A plywood panelling completely covers the perimeter of the bathroom and integrates the washbasin cabinet adding both character and texture.
The circular path in the apartment is completed by the large central shower, covered with charcoal tiles, serving both bathrooms. This solution, designed to optimize the use of space, creates an intimate and sensual atmosphere in which you feel enveloped and pampered.
Spatial continuity is emphasized by the choice of finishes, which extend uniformly across all surfaces in the house: light gray walls contrast with the walnut-colored parquet flooring. This is further enhanced by the large windows exposed to the south-west: the apartment, located on the top floor of the building, benefits from a double exposure and terraces that offer stunning sunset views over the city of Milan.
The warm light of the setting sun is amplified by the ceiling whose inclination is accentuated by the warm mustard color, a tribute to Le Corbusier’s chromatic approach.
