In this project, the common thread is red RAL 3000, a no-uncertainties color that flickers between the planes, combining – together with rigid black and white – new and old, in a single design.
Within the framework of this rather clear concept, there is room for aesthetic choices with a strong personality, such as the Fornasetti bathroom tiles and the Panzeri recessed strip of light, as well as the monolithic staircase block, obviously red lacquered.

Stilò designs an immense living area, full of natural light; it widens the volume of the living room up to the roof, creating a double height that also allows the attic to be lit. The attic has been completely renovated with fine floors and finishes, with many walk-in closets and comfortable spaces for relaxation.

Custom-designed metal and wood furnishings allow each space to be adapted to the specific needs of the property.

While outside the “bisuoli” in masonry are restored, the verandas in reeds are fixed, the fixtures are restored, the walls are rekindled with the typical white lime plaster, inside there are solutions for the minimum spaces, cared for with attention by the owner-stylist, who chooses fixed furniture exclusively black in honor of the lava origin of the island.
The floors are made of cement, according to tradition. The bathroom and kitchen coverings are in cementine, whose fantasy (in black and white) is specially designed and commissioned to a specialized factory. Ceramic switches control strictly black and white wicker chandeliers. The black sanitary fixtures also have modern lines, as does the tapware. The kitchen top, made of cement by local workers, has a tilt mechanism that allows access to a cellar behind, the door of which is camouflaged with the wall thanks to the careful laying of the coating.

In a building of the early twentieth century, in the heart of Turin, a representative office leaves the apartment that had been used as the headquarters for years. The family living on the same landing decided to restructure the former offices in order to enlarge their residence, taking advantage of the contiguity of the lodgings. However, they request to eventually have without too much effort  two independent apartments back.
The intervention is designed to be completely reversible: with the system (heating, gas system, burglar alarm) prepared for two separate units.

From a functional and aesthetic point of view, the transformation aims to maintain and enhance the original characteristics of value, intervening with modern surfaces in the rooms “to be rebuilt”: bathrooms and entrance. The original parquet floors are entrusted to expert craftsmen, integrated where necessary with strips of national oak and polished.

The cement tiles are protected and all the floors are restored to their original splendour. Pure, minimalist lines are chosen for the new kitchen and bathrooms. The sober resin cladding solves the combination of the classic style of the rooms and the modern functionality of the service areas.

A construction company buys a portion of the only block survived the bombing right in front of the Mole Antonelliana. The building is full of charm, having been until a few years ago, a workshop for students of the San Carlo schools, where they were trained craftsmen set designers, carpenters, decorators.

The market seems to suggest the transformation into small apartments, but the peculiarity of the location requires to explore another way.

The brochure we realized can be seen here.

Stilò plays a demanding game of chess alongside its customers, to arrive at the creation of warm, modern spaces, specifically cut to their needs and tastes. The result is an open, convivial, bright living area and a comfortable and functional sleeping area.

The design follows the requirements of the customers, who want a house thermally and functionally super-performing but without sacrificing some typological characters and traditional materials. Thus, through successive approximations, the design is defined in a difficult balance between tradition and modernity, both from a formal and technical point of view. Abandoning the overly spartan connotations of many energy-efficient “eco-houses”, the villa finds its grace in the choice of materials, in the reduced but studied volumetric movements, in the purity of the lines.
The interiors are all played on the abundance of light, an absolute protagonist of the living area. The basement also enjoys all the sunshine necessary thanks to the creation of a lowered patio on the south side.

The building is also the first in the municipality of Volpiano to meet the voluntary requirements of the bio-architecture plan.

Although these are limited areas, the opportunity is good for a profound functional and distributive reorganization.
The project involves the construction of a second bathroom and a more comfortable distribution in the living area. From the point of view of the surfaces, the building envelope is improved by improving its performance in terms of thermal insulation and offering a coating in local trachyte, consistent with the characteristics typical of the local building, in full respect of the delicate coastal landscape. The outdoor spaces are shaded with canopies in cannula supported by chestnut wood pillars.
