"A common refrain about Milan is that its true beauty lies hidden behind closed doors-in manicured courtyards, art-filled private palazzi, and those marble-lined entryways for which the city is famous. In crafting a pied-à-terre for two former Hollywood executives, designers Fanny Bauer Grung and David López Quincoces of Studio Dragó (formerly Quincoces-Dragó Partners) took that idea indoors, creating a versatile apartment that, as Bauer Grung puts it, lives a "double life.""
"After 35 years and a relocation to Los Angeles, "we are squarely in the next chapter," explains Sanderson, who fell in love with Italy after enrolling in an immersive language class in Bologna, which led to an extended stint in Milan. "It's the post-corporate, post-full-time job part of our lives," he adds. "That's when the idea of having a second home became front and center for us.""
"Though neither Bauer Grung nor López Quincoces was born in Italy-she is Norwegian and he hails from Spain-their design language is firmly rooted in Milan, their longtime adopted home. "Nobody is more well-versed in Italian style than them," confirms Sanderson. "We started from that base, but they also brought in other influences. Fanny leans toward more serene, tranquil environments-she lets things breathe."
Adam Sanderson and Rich Ross are former Hollywood executives who met in New York, later relocated to Los Angeles, and pursued Italy after immersive language study in Bologna led to a stint in Milan. The couple sought an intimate yet cosmopolitan second home and purchased a top-floor 1904 apartment just outside Milan's historic center. Designers Fanny Bauer Grung and David López Quincoces of Studio Dragó created a versatile pied-à-terre that embodies Milanese style while incorporating other influences. The design balances serene, breathable spaces with cosmopolitan energy to suit a post-corporate, flexible lifestyle.
