A young homeowner moved into a prestigious apartment on the top floor of a historic building in central Milan. Arranged around an internal courtyard, the home features stuccoed ceilings and antique floors, windows and doors. The architect maintained the same overall layout while renewing and updating the bathrooms, private areas and common parts of the home to produce an apartment in contemporary style without compromising the building’s historic prestige. Artistic consulting services were oriented toward particularly prestigious artists whose works are exhibited in the collections of numerous museums, seeking out and selecting works in harmony with the style of the home.
