Vincenzo De Cotiis has transformed a historical building in Milan, originally constructed by the Mazenta family in the 16th and 17th centuries. After various ownership changes, including a long tenure by the Sisters of St. Marcellina, the once-declining property has been revived. De Cotiis focused on a complete interior renovation while respecting the historic atmosphere and materials, effectively creating a modern jewel nestled in a centuries-old structure. The architect's work enhances the building's longstanding legacy as both enriching and charmingly reflective of the past.
"When we found the apartment, it was no longer in its original condition. We chose to completely renovate the interior, while maintaining a focus on the atmosphere and character that evoke a certain moment in history through its materials."
"The building was constructed over the 16th and 17th centuries by the Mazenta family... it became a hotel and restaurant, highlighting its transition and enduring legacy in Milan."
