In the bustling cities of Milan and Edinburgh, the architectural mavericks of ATOMAA, led by the dynamic trio of Umberto, Cesare, and Andrea, have breathed new life into a 1920s building splashed with the iconic Milanese yellow hue, a beacon of history amidst the fog. The fusion of old-world charm with contemporary flair is evident as arches, workspaces, and convivial nooks are seamlessly integrated into the space. A transformation unfolds with corridors shortened, revealing hidden pillars, and bedrooms revamped to accommodate modern living while honoring the past.
The entrance, once a forgotten threshold, now boasts a clever interplay of design elements, from shoe racks to hidden closets, setting the stage for a home that embraces functionality without sacrificing style. Nicolò, the artistic soul of the abode, finds solace in a bespoke study area, a haven for creativity and inspiration. The living room exudes simplicity and elegance, with French windows, concrete pillars, and a vibrant pantry, creating a harmonious blend of textures and tones.
The heart of the home, the kitchen, stands as a testament to modern efficiency, clad in blue metal and white tiles, a symphony of form and function. The bathroom, a sanctuary of relaxation, is cleverly designed to appear more spacious, with a striking blue vanity and intricate white handles adding a touch of whimsy. The bedroom, a tranquil retreat at the apartment's end, beckons with its unique tiling and a masterful play of wood and hay rattan, offering intimacy and transparency in equal measure.
Gino, the enigmatic third resident, finds solace in the warmth and vibrancy of this reimagined space, a testament to the transformative power of design. From hidden nooks to artful details, every corner of this architectural gem tells a story of innovation and reverence for the past, a true masterpiece in the heart of bustling Milan.
