Conversion of an ex garage into Elena Cerizza's house and office.
The long shaped garage is divided into two areas:
1-the working space / architectural office facing the street.
2-the proper house, in the back.
Despite this functional division the whole place is treated in one single way:it becomes a box to showcase all the objects forming the architects' design collection, both classic pieces, especially italian ones from the 50s and 60s, and prototypes designed in the office.
On the underground level the same funciontal division (house/office) is marked by the treatment of the old bricks domes, which are varnished in white paint for the working / materials desplay area and left in their natural color in the living space hosting a gym, a tv room, the laundry.
