Raumplan Milanese
What is the Raumplan? For Adolf Loos it is the assembly of spaces, various for height, within an architectonic volume, it is spatial economy against the waste and monotony of the overlapping floors.
Raumplan, in fact, means to refuse the division of the building in overlapping floors that leads to attribute to all the spaces a fixed height, conventional, that is to see the relationships between the spaces in exclusively graphical way, projected on the plan.
The apartment, situated in a monumental residential palace realized as a result of the Piano Beruto, was constituted by three premises served from a corridor: the general refurbishment has, instead, shaped an only all-height internal space, 39 ft long and 16 ft wide, illuminated from all the four great existing windows and covered with a new vault ceiling.
The spaces of the kitchen, the main bedroom and the studiolo-bedroom are arranged inside such only space, having applied the principle of the Raumplan.
Two levels are obtained, in this way, lower and upper, fitted and articulated with a special stairway.
There are two bathrooms, in correspondence to the two levels and arranged outside the vaulted space: the lower bathroom is also articulated in two spaces with different heights, the upper bathroom is overlapped to a service room for all the new plants.
The generalized use of the douglas stave 4 inches high contributes in decisive way to confer to the entire architecture a unitary character: with it the entire geometry of the apartment is shaped, from the “background walls” to the pavement, from the overlapping and fitted spaces to the stairway, from the dining table 9.7 ft long to the two small table-bench of the drawing room.
Only two other colors are approached to the warm natural color of the douglas: the black and what the british call “white tie”.
The kitchen piece of furniture, accessible from the two levels, the cladding of the bathrooms and the carpet of the main space (it is not overlapped, but embedded in the wood pavement) are black.
The central container, accessible from the two levels and three sides, the full-height container of the other “background wall” and the vault are in “white tie” color.
The kitchen piece of furniture, made from black HPL, is characterized by the completely vented central space.
As the kitchen is placed within the open habitable space, a special attention is dedicated to the topic of the aspiration of the air: the geometry of the kitchen guarantees a discreet level of “containment”, the displacement of the powerful exhaust fan and the size of the duct (10 inches) guarantee elevated capacity and lowest noisiness.
In contrast with the general contemporary aspect of the apartment, the wall of the ancient windows and some horizontal portions of the ceiling want to give back the perception of the original atmosphere: on these surfaces there is a stucco, again in “white tie” color, made from several layers of crossed spatula strokes to recreate the effect of the canvases of the minimalist Phil Sims.
