In a daring architectural escapade, Maria Trabuchi and Eugenia Gatti, the dynamic duo behind Estudio Dott, have orchestrated a symphony of design in the heart of the Clot neighborhood. Inspired by the sleek lines of Danish architecture, they have breathed new life into a historic 1876 building, stripping it down to its bare bones and infusing it with a vibrant, vintage charm. The result? An open living space bathed in natural light, adorned with exposed wooden beams that stretch towards the heavens, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting.
The kitchen, a bustling hub of activity in any home, has been transformed into a culinary oasis, featuring luxurious Calcatta Paonazzo stone countertops and a custom island that houses a plethora of modern appliances. Maria's aversion to a traditional TV setup led to the installation of a discreet ceiling projector, ensuring that the living room remains a sanctuary of relaxation and socialization. Meanwhile, the main bedroom exudes tranquility with its neutral palette and circular motifs, offering a serene retreat from the bustle of city life.
But the magic doesn't stop there. The bathroom, often overlooked in its significance, has been elevated to a realm of bold design choices, with traditional Spanish tiles adorning the walls and striking black fixtures adding a touch of drama. Maria and Eugenia's philosophy of embracing small spaces as opportunities for creativity shines through in every corner of the apartment, creating a harmonious blend of innovation and comfort. The end result is a living space that not only reflects the unique identity of its inhabitants but also serves as a testament to the power of thoughtful design in transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
