GAZOMETRO APARTMENT - ROME
A few meters from the old factory of Gas of Rome, in a young and fervent context made of industrial reminiscences, Street Art, new creative hothouse of Rome, Archifacturing studio reinterprets an apartment of a typical building of the 50's.
The original layout of the apartment has two bedrooms, a living room with kitchen, a bathroom and a storage room. The client requires the creation of a modular space that doesn’t lose the original comfort, that embraces a grandpiano, with surfaces where freely express creativity and impromptu ideas in a young style made of natural and simple materials, without forgetting traditions, the past and the lived time.
Archifacturin garranges the spaces creating an open-space that is naturally organized through independent areas; if necessary, these areas are completely separated by a glass wall completely swallowed by the structures: it reset the original structure with the presence of a second bedroom in a spaceintimate and autonomous. A careful study of the possibilities offered by the plan has allowed the creation of comfortable utilityspaces and libraries that integrate and disappear in toto in the appropriately reinterpreted structures.
The proximity of the old Gazometro and their essential shapes in the Roman sky, have inspired the use of raw iron which, together with wood, is the protagonist of all items of furniture, designed one by one in detail. The cabinet doors-closet become so an original woodwork with characteristic wooden slatted framed by brushed iron, the glass wall is made of iron and transparent-opal glass with geometric patterns that intersect in the game of four sliding panels, the dining table with iron drawers bears an upper frame that houses a warm teak wood plank, the bench provides a comfortable container seat with an original oblique profile, theelement under the TV has a basic iron structure and wooden drawers, library consist of iron shelves that penetrate the wood in an original execution "comb style".
In order to keep the original apartment floor, different widths wooden planks, it was decided to lighten the original color locally pickling the planks, starting with layers of water-based paint in shades of gray: this treatment has broadened the spaces giving them freshness and brightness. The vertical elements of furniture, except for the dining table and bench, are treated using the same floor technique, creating an homogeneitygeneral visual feeling.
The gray and white walls accompany the blackboard surfaces. On the client request, the bedroom, with a blue-stone bed wall, has a black strip that reproduces the idea of an uninterrupted thoughts flow, anuniversity blackboard on which studies and new ideas can be developped.
Among the choices of lighting stands out the presence of "Lampe De Marsille", lamp designed by Le Corbusier in 1954, deliberately bare and essential, with its two cones emanating light upwards and downwards and its articulated arm, back to live illuminating an elegant grand piano visible to visitors just entered the home.
Among the furnishings, note the terracotta amphorae and the original reinterpretation of original ‘900 chairs, that with their vibrant colors add a touch of Scandinavian reinterpreted in the light of the typical Italian tradition.
