Casa Livia is a renovation project in Guglionesi (Cb) in Molise, carried out by architects Lorenzo Pio Paladino and Maria Lucia D'Alessio, which arises from the need to express the concept of fluidity on the most intimate scale of living. A 140 square meter apartment consisting of three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with living room, kitchen and study area. The classic use of doors and corridors, which normally define and separate the living and sleeping areas, has been abandoned to obtain complete freedom of movement, routes and intended uses. What could be called functional furniture is the space organizer that dictates invisible and permeable limits between spaces not yet lived.

The living and sleeping areas revolve around the central volume, the main functional piece of furniture that includes the kitchen, study area and services. The living room is a large open space overlooking the outdoor terrace, along which the bench / fireplace mediates between indoor and outdoor space. The suspended piece of furniture that embraces the reinforced concrete pillar is one of the functional elements that defines the imperceptible border between the kitchen and the living room.
