The project immediately faced the fascinating context in which it is located: a former thirteenth-century convent that still retains numerous original features. Over the centuries, the building has undergone various transformations, including a period when it housed an elementary school active until the 1950s. For the clients the beauty of living in a city like Florence is being surrounded by layers of different eras, having the opportunity to inhabit spaces that have crossed the centuries and are full of stories to discover.
In agreement with the couple, a total renovation was avoided, as the layout of the spaces already aligned with their needs. The project focused on promoting a greater connection between the kitchen and the living room, originally separate, with the goal of increasing brightness in the entrance through specific interventions without altering the original floor plan.
The project integrates a key element in the central distribution space: a wooden device that serves as a wall-filter between the entrance and the new kitchen area, allowing light to permeate to the hallway. This equipped wall becomes a central element in defining the space and features of the house, with a regular geometry that places the couple’s design library at its center.
The filter operates on two fronts, with two different perspectives: on one side, it acts as a bookshelf, while on the other, it shapes and rhythmically frames the kitchen, enclosing it with white ceramic cladding. This creates a visual connection between the spaces.
The living area opens into a spacious and bright room. The staircase leading to the second level is a prominent architectural element in this space. It develops as a single wooden ramp leading to the upper space. A connection that reads as a solid, geometric volume and at the same time, non-invasive.
