The new building has been modified inside by request of the owners, who wanted to have separate rooms for guests and a large daytime area. The latter is composed of a single space that includes the entrance, living room, dining room and kitchen. The focal points in this open space are the large dark gray counter-wall with a stone effect, which contains the television, and a table whose top is composed of a single piece cut from a tree trunk.
Eliminating the deck that divided it from the living room, the staircase has gone from being a simple service element to a focal point of the design. Every measure taken brings out its presence in the space: it rests on a platform with small spotlights, and has been painted with a materic effect. The steps are monoliths of concrete-effect porcelain stoneware, while handrail – invisible in the daytime – becomes a continuous band of light in the darkness. The parapets have been replaced by glass panels that extend from the basement to the first floor.
