In the center of Treviso, the interior design of the Sectilis penthouse is configured as an exercise in spatial rewriting that works on the balance between the geometric rigor of fixed elements and the superficial treatment of finishes. The intervention, developed over an internal surface of 122 sqm, addresses two distinct compositional themes: the management of long wall curtains in the living area and the geometric resolution of a sleeping area with an irregular floor plan.
The living area is conceived as a fluid continuum, unified on the ground by sand-colored cement resin flooring that acts as a neutral and bright horizontal plane. Set upon this base is the project's true organizing device: ash wood. Moving away from the logic of mass-produced products, the entire intervention is resolved through custom-made carpentry, transforming wood into a system of equipped boiserie that corrects and redraws the home's boundaries.
The compositional strategy works on the vibration of the surface: ash is declined in a rhythmic alternation between flat fields and vertical "cannettato" (ribbed) textures. This treatment transforms blind walls into architectural backdrops capable of integrating or concealing technical functions. The kitchen and wardrobes are inserted into this system through volumetric subtraction, while the living room wall gains depth thanks to the insertion of a light vein-cut travertine slab. A long suspended storage volume, running horizontally along the living room wall, emphasizes the perspective of the space, dialoguing with the verticality of the ribbed surface above.
Lighting, integrated into the carpentry work, carves the volumes and enhances the surfaces. Although the geometries are marked by clear formal cleanliness, the atmosphere avoids any coldness: the use of neutral and warm tones, combined with the naturalness of wood and stone, renders a domestic environment that is welcoming and measured.
The transition to the sleeping area occurs through a hallway that acts as a distributive hinge, resolving the complexities of a geometrically difficult layout. Here, the project changes material register, moving from the precision of wood to the softness of textile surfaces. The master bedroom—equipped with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet—and the secondary bedrooms abandon the geometries of the living area to embrace a more muffled atmosphere. The use of linen wall coverings and the introduction of deep chromatic accents, such as forest green, define an intimate environment where the quality of living is entrusted to the materials' ability to absorb light and dampen sound. Sectilis thus represents a measured synthesis, where planimetric complexity is resolved through a sartorial design of furniture, and where natural matter is not exhibited, but used as a tool for spatial control.
