Mandrione Apartment | Rome – Italy
The project involves the transformation of an attic of approximately 100 m² characterised by a strong internal fragmentation. The main goal was to completely rethink the living area, freeing up space and visual continuity. The living room was designed as a single fluid environment, ideally connected to the outdoor space that becomes its natural extension.
Circulation paths were reduced to a minimum and enhanced through light lines integrated into the ceilings, defining deep and continuous visual axes. The relationship between the living and sleeping areas is mediated by a corridor organised as a functional boiserie, incorporating the guest bathroom, generous wardrobe space, a coat storage unit and a technical compartment dedicated to the building systems. This continuous element creates order, connects the spaces and delivers a strong sense of formal coherence.
Unity is reinforced by oak parquet laid in a French herringbone pattern, used throughout the home except in the bathrooms, and by a palette of greys that harmonises the spaces. Bespoke joinery allows optimal use of volumes, with integrated and continuous elements such as the living room bookshelf and the structures dedicated to the bedroom and service areas.
A central aspect of the intervention was energy efficiency: the apartment moved from energy class G to class A++, through external and internal insulation at ceiling level, new wooden window frames with insulated casings, a ceiling radiant system with heat pump, solar thermal panels and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.
