A Milan apartment renovation preserves Rosso Francia marble and uses springlike pastel colors to create a bright, positive interior mood.
The Italian palazzo is among some of the most romantic architecture in the world, with styles dating back to the early 16th century, popular with noble families who flourished via trades and banking.
Working with architect Lorenzo Giordano, the team approached the project as a thoughtful rehabilitation. An aluminum rooftop sits lightly on old masonry; new terrazzo floors by Cuor di Roccia meet terracotta tiles; steel stair housings pair with restored plaster and arched openings. The contrasts are deliberate, revealing each layer of the site rather than hiding it.
