The love of trying out advanced materials and finishes of Dellatorre is on show in this room that is living. A surprising lightness is added by the glass stairs, and he employed copper pictures that are oxidized to get the look of the wall supporting the couch.

This house exemplifies what he means by an “italian-style attic:” it is open and liquid however close, warm and alluring. When you look into the living area, that alluring heat comes across loud and clear. The flooring’s been completed with epoxy glue mixed with metals and its particular look is dampened well.

The living area walls were inspired by the situation cantoniere [goalkeeper’s cottages] standard of the Italian railroad tracks,” Dellatorre states. “They possess the characteristic reddish colour. In this situation, I modeled a damaged plaster, like it was destroyed by time.”

All the leather furniture in this flat is quite dark, together with the exclusion of one reddish chaise alongside the bookcase. “In the studio there’s no physical separation between the chambers, but the zones, or instead, the features, are defined by materials as well as colours,” he says. “In this situation, within the front room I desired to ‘slim’ the studying location using a chaise longue in a solid colour contrast.”

“I like to use wood floors in the bedrooms,” Dellatorre states. “In this scenario I employed a French oak flooring, constructed utilizing the old, re-covered beams. The parquet is created utilizing the very first layer of beams, which bear the marks of time.”

Chromium steel covers the perform and cabinet making surfaces. “The possessor is a self-taught chef,” Dellatorre claims. “The steel is similar to a restaurant kitchen, but the add-ons are usually domestic.”

The sink coated using a tile that mimics fe and was built of strengthened concrete. “It’s not an easy task to slice the the tiles and make a sink, but thanks to the attention and professionalism of the employees we could develop a great product from both a sensible and aesthetic view.”

The toilet that is 2nd generally seems to have significantly more classic- fixtures that are showing, a design not utilized elsewhere in the flat.
“The visitor toilet is inspired by the Paris Metro,” Dellatorre claims. “In fact, we employed the sam-e tiles that may be discovered in the stations of the French richesse. I love to make use of the mixture of ceramic that is white and reddish ‘Pompeii’ [a clean that is colour ]. Add-ons and the fixtures are an homage to the retro disposition, classic. This really is an isolated instance in the attic, but consistently using a mention of the the fe, the railroad, the workshop.”

The toilet that is third reveals a totally different manner from both of the other bathrooms. “The customer has a kid who needed to participate straight in the decision of the colour of his toilet. I was amused to entail him, and also the result was therefore astonishing and sudden,” Dellatorre states. “It looks to to stay a paint factory at which it’s possible to see all the Pantone colours all at one time.”

“The sink in the laundry was an experimentation. It had been done together with the exact same technology as concrete, the grasp bathroom, but but rather of ceramic-coated, we employed the shiny resin which dried, has chosen an effect that was interesting. It’s among the very successful points in the attic, in my modest view.”
When I requested Dellatorre if this flat was standard of the function he does, he explained, “I’m not an architect using a line or an accurate fashion. I simply make an effort to interpret the desires of my customers, who become co-designers, to allow them to possess the house they really need. Clients will be the actual coordinators, and for me, the architect needs to be simply a translator of the client ‘s wishes.”
He is working on four websites in the Milan region, one in Great, France, and one in Taranto.
