In Verona, the modular Freedhome system enhances the 15th-century architecture of the Palazzo Alcenago by emphasising the multifunctionality of the spaces

Bringing the antique into the contemporary and vice versa, making the living space designed in the past even more functional by illuminating it with timeless beauty: this is, among the tasks of design, the most complex. A challenge that took shape just a few steps away from the Arena of Verona, in the heart of the city's historic centre.

Continuity and multifunctionality

Palazzo Alcenago is an example of 15th-century architecture. It is here that Caccaro, a company that has made fully customisable modular furnishing solutions its hallmark, has made the most of the design abacus made available by Freedhome, the patented system of modules patented by the Veneto-based brand that are compatible with each other and with all domestic environments, designed to create continuity between rooms while maintaining a principle of separation, without renouncing multi-functionality.

A special renovation

The context blends historical and modern elements. Here, in the interior of the historic building in Verona, Caccaro modular systems define spaces with elegance and functionality. That of Palazzo Alcenago is a special renovation project, led by interior designer Valeria Piacenza of Selezione Arredamenti. The project was born with the aim of preserving and restoring the unique characteristics of the palace, starting with the original brick arches and the four and a half metre high ceilings with exposed beams, while respecting the authentic character of the spaces.

Meeting the client's needs

Originally a large single room used as a shop, the flat was redesigned to meet the needs of the client, who wanted to create two bedrooms, a study area and a large kitchen-living room without the use of walls due to structural constraints. The light wood flooring, used throughout the flat, creates unity between the rooms and generates a warm and cosy atmosphere.

Contain and organise

The Caccaro systems were chosen for their dual function: to offer maximum storage capacity and to organise rooms, clearly defining spaces without interrupting the visual flow. The customisable height of the furniture allowed the alignment with a structural element, which creates a change of texture and material on the wall, to visually maintain a clean lines. In the near future, to complete the project, it is planned to close the space between module and ceiling with glass panes.

A light composition

Specifically, the Freedhome system made it possible to delineate the bedroom without the need for masonry walls. The door passage also proved to be the solution to create an opening in the storage wall. The technical module discreetly conceals a laundry compartment in which the appliances can disappear. The end module, thanks to its L-shaped structure with dimmable lighting, offers even more storage space and closes the composition lightly.

Freeing the home from constraints

Freedhome, as its name explains, is the storage system designed to free the home from its constraints. Much more than a cupboard, it is a system of modules that are compatible with each other and with all domestic environments and becomes a storage wall. The composition is born from the meeting of two or more modules, which come together and transform, creating something unique.

Customised compositions

Function is determined by the combinations of modules and the total freedom to accessorise the interior. Not just a walk-in or wardrobe for the sleeping area, but a solution for every space that accommodates it in both function and size. A design idea that brings a new functionality inside old spaces, allowing them to be lived in a contemporary way.
