"Nestled in the heart of Milan, this apartment evokes spring like few other interiors do. Local architecture firm Valencia Biscottini preserved its original Rosso Francia marble floor, and used it as an inspiration for the color scheme of the entire renovation. Now, soft pastel colors ranging from canary yellow to sky blue cloak the apartment in a positive vibe-no rose-colored glasses necessary."
"“We wanted to tone down the colors, and bring them toward a dimension closer to the colors of spring,” explains John William Valencia, one of the Valencia Biscottini principals, of the shades found in the original interior. For example, his firm commissioned a new terrazzo floor by Fantini Mosaici-the composition includes tiles in the same Rosso Francia red embedded in more earthen hues."
"The bookshelves in the entryway, finished in the same material as the walls, hide a small guest bathroom that boasts richer crimson accents. Above the entryway floor, beige walls change with the natural light, shifting towards pink as the daylight changes."
