CASA BO
The Casa BO project describes the renovation of a 145 square metre flat located inside a building in the Balduina district, a residential context in the north-west of Rome. The client's need was to transform the old distribution of the living area into a large single room in which the living room, dining room and kitchen coexist through direct spatial and visual communication.
The connection of the central rooms is mediated by the presence of a large handcrafted glass window, made of a dark brown iron profile, which connects the kitchen and the overlooking dining area.
Soft curved lines are repeated in several elements of the design: in the calacatta marble top of the kitchen island, in the bevels of the masonry and in the passages dividing the living area from the sleeping area.
The material trait d'union of the intervention is represented by the choice of solid walnut parquet flooring, which lends a warm and unique character to the room, illuminated by the neutral walls of the envelope.
In the kitchen, an elegant milled paneling in light oak forms the base of the central module.
The quest for brightness and curved lines is emphasised in the representative bathroom. Here the pearl grey walls curve to accommodate the central freestanding bathtub. The arabesque marble floor contrasts with this neutral envelope.
In contrast to the rest of the flat, the second bathroom has dark tones, except for the shower niche under the window, which again becomes bright and neutral.
The sleeping area of the large flat is characterised by built-in wardrobes in the corridor and a walk-in wardrobe. The space is then enriched by the presence of terraces and a small veranda overlooking the gardens.
