The Casa MM project involved a radical intervention. The current state of the apartment presented itself in its original configuration from the early 1900s, characterized by a large entrance at the expense of a small service area and kitchen.
The rigidity of the layout imposed by the typical spine wall of early 20th-century buildings was overcome by the creation of two portals framed by flared iron structures and interspersed with a custom-built wardrobe and bookcase, a distinctive element of the apartment.
By reducing the large space previously used as an entrance, a bedroom was created; the first opening, facing the bedroom, provides access to both the bathroom located in the central area of the house and the master bedroom with a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. The reconfiguration of spaces from a distribution standpoint aimed to prioritize the living area, connected through the second portal to the kitchen and dining room.
The kitchen area is identified by a change in material both on the floor and on the walls, continuing onto the peninsula. Iron is echoed in the use of custom-designed shelves and in the choice of black furniture, metal, and Fenix.
