•eaurc LOOKING FURTHER

LOOKING FURTHER Real change is born from the willingness to look further "I have always wanted to create a pocket door system which is easy to install and will last forever. I am inspired by the idea of constantly improving the performance of this product, because I want to satisfy everyone who sells it, installs it and uses it. This is what drives me and enables me to always be Looking Further."

Originally a 5-unit building, designed to yield profits, only later was this project turned into a two-family home: the three upper levels for the couple and the lower two, with a small outdoor courtyard, for their daughter's family. It was no easy task for the designer to reconvert the project, with an internal lift but no internal stairs, yet the final result met all the family's needs. The lower flat is distributed in the traditional way, with the living area on the ground floor and bedrooms on the first floor, connected by an internal staircase. The upper flat, on the contrary, is...

In Palermo, Sicily, an eleventh-floor apartment offers so much natural light to a young family with three children who defined their living space through a process of subtraction aimed at giving up the superfluous. The result is a modern, minimalist and sophisticated space which plays with contrasts. The choice of materials follows the orientation towards reduction, limiting the colour choices to the two contrasting alternatives, light and dark. The bold black wall that distinguishes the entrance, made to measure, and the large kitchen island are covered in an opaque finish that is soft to...

HOUSE ERRE Essential, minimalist, harmonious. The House Erre project was a structural intervention of interior design, ranging from redesigning the layout of spaces to the choice of colours and finishes, as well as the design of custom-made furniture moulded around the space, to enhance it in the name of simplicity of volumes and continuity of materials. As regards simplicity, the door leading to the sleeping area, concealed in the kitchen cupboards, embodies the idea of cleanliness and geometric rigour that distinguishes the intervention, while amplifying the accents of rationality and...

THE HOUSE WHERE MUSIC LIVES This newly renovated apartment in Vilnius is home for a young, energetic and creative family, a place where music lives and everything pulses with life. By playing on sharp contrasts, in terms of colours, materials and finishes, the strength of the existing structure was preserved and emphasised. The charismatic monolithic concrete ceilings give a discreet yet solid industrial vibe to the rooms, while the warm, soft nuances of white and pastel colours balance it out in walls and furniture finishes. Windows have been designed to allow for the natural light to...

Immersed in over ten hectares of centuries-old olive groves of the L'Olinda farm and oil mill, in central Italy, this accommodation facility stands in a place of peace and tranquillity. An uncontaminated place that as such required special attention, sensitivity and respect for the environment in renovating the main building. In doing so, the designer deliberately combined the "new" with the "traditional". The exposed brickwork of the façade was made using only the bricks from the demolition of the original 19th-century farmhouse and elegantly matches the bleached timber used for the roof...

HOUSE VALENTINI A family home from the 1950s in which the architect's family has been living since. Its attic, the classic roof space that covered the entire floor plan of the three-storey house, was originally divided into rooms as if it were to be made habitable, but was never completed. In renovating this floor, the idea was to work with floors, walls and ceilings in a single hue, with natural plaster and a resin cement floor contrasting with the furniture, that stands out with its stronger colours. The choice of natural materials guided the entire project. From the finishes to the...

COSY APARTMENT IN VIENNA This 1950s flat, built to a very simple standard during post-war reconstruction, offered a very different layout than today's living requirements, with a large windowless entrance hall leading to the various rooms. Now, the living room and kitchen are combined into one airy room and a large full-height opening lets in natural light towards the entrance, which is thus made welcoming and bright. The dining space creates a link between the cooking and sitting areas. Placed along the windowed wall, a long bench acts as a connecting element and invites to sit at the...
