THE HOUSE OF THE PRESIDENT
The house created with the slogan: “A little imagination, a little taste and a pinch of style ... is a perfect recipe to live the house by moving us every day”.
Maximum is the functionality of the sleeping area thanks to the spaces created for the walk-in closet and the bathroom (in the bedroom), without disfiguring the rest of the surrounding space, aesthetics included.
And in the living area, history and tradition live, where the hosts have given new life and space to antiques, often “discarded” or abandoned in the cellars. And these objects greatly enrich the space giving it an added value.
The game between the traditional classic and the modern “minimal” (like the kitchen) is a little ticklish to the eye but undoubtedly does not lead to any kind of conflict.
Throughout the house, “color with its chromatic range” is the master, never confusing, which with a thin thread harmoniously unites all the rooms, just as the hosts wished.

LE FABULEUX DESTIN DI
ELISA TALENTINO
Elisa Talentino is an Italian illustrator who lives in her two-floor apartment in the center of Turin. The history of the house and the history of Elisa have been going together for over twenty years, the different periods of Elisa’s life spent in this house have certainly left their marks.
In the last five years, the upper floor has changed its look, becoming a welcoming attic thanks to the help of the Turin architecture studio UnDuo.
All spaces and furnishings are designed by Elisa. Some discoveries (like the bricks and the original wall in the kitchen) are made by her. “The most interesting thing is to be able to create a space inexpensively...”
“Of course, with a large budget, I think it is much easier to find the right solutions. However, working economically and having the image of the house in mind, you have to get involved using all the available material, such as old furniture, objects taken to landfills, etc. etc. The most important thing is to be creative! “ says Elisa.
The space is not large but full of life: drawings and objects - bearers of lived and imaginary stories, fill the house as if it were a book to read.
The attic is designed by architects of the studio Unduo.

The apartment is located in a part of old Milan, next to Piazza Missori in a historic building from the 18th century.
The implementation of the project was necessary not only from an aesthetic point of view, but primarily from a technical point of view: the apartment was in a completely abandoned state.
It was very important for the architect to preserve the conceptual thread of the space, so he decided to reserve most of the old elements and to bring them in the present, successfully harmonizing with the easy implementation of modern details.
Parquet floors, cement tiles, doors, windows and other elements that have not been deliberately restored are in a dynamic dialogue with original solutions such as plasterboard wall panels with integrated illumination.
The space tells a lot about the family, large family of six persons, of whom four are children. Therefore, the architect had to rationalize the space in order to create comfortable conditions for all family members, without losing in aesthetics.

The house for us and our friends
The apartment is situated in the center of Milan, in the house just constructed. The main architectual objectives were to created the space for the young family with two children, practical for use and nice for seeing.
The large living area within which the living area and the open kitchen are located, crossed for its entire length by the terrace overlooking the internal courtyard, it is conceptually separated from the sleeping area by a wisteria-colored box near the entrance. The sleeping area incorporates the colours and materials of the living room, emphasizing the expressive but calibrated character of the entire intervention.
Gray / light blue walls and ceilings, floors in Italian herringbone oak, in addition to the oak and black of the many joinery elements, they are the alphabet of the language chosen by the architect.
“We’ve tried to create the comfortable living space for us and good feeling space for our friends. For me - describes the house owner - the kitchen was fondamental, I wanted to have the open space but without dimostrating our daily chaos, especially to our guests, and so we’ve found the solution: the kitchen “hide and sick”.
The colours of the walls bring the sansation of the lightness and cheerfulness, that helps us to feel better after the hard working days.”

live the story
“Between twelve and fifteen thousand books”... with these words the Italian writer Giorgio Vasta begins to tell of his home in the center of Palermo, to which he recently moved and where he spent these months of lockdown surrounded by books and what he calls “his tenants”: collected objects and graffiti that could represent new stories that ask to be told.
The project, born about two years ago with the purchase of the house, was created by Martina Cardella. With enormous creative potential Martina and Giorgio have redesigned the space by furnishing it with recycled objects and objects taken from flea markets around the world.
“Why not use the thermos as a base for the lamp?” - suggests Giorgio. And “why not use the window stop to create a support for the wall chandelier?” - relaunches Martina. They are just two examples of the numerous ideas of this extraordinary couple.
Main condition of the renovation? Do not throw anything away, everything found in the house during the works is put aside to understand how to enhance it.
The walls of the early 1900s building are in tuff and the ceilings with wooden beams. To highlight these structural elements Martina and Giorgio have decided to show them discovered in some places using the glass that can be walked on between the floors, thus also creating a sense of continuity of space in the apartment.
nitially the house was conceived divided into two different parts, that of the owners and that of the servants - two parallel lives: the main part had very high ceilings, wide doors and marble floors, while the servants’ part was gloomy, narrow and cramped. Martina’s project has expanded these poor spaces, increasing their brightness and height.
Thanks to this ability to observe, preserve and create, the project that is strongly linked to the life of this house becomes a chapter in the history of Giorgio, or perhaps Giorgio’s life becomes a chapter in the history of this house?
