Caposile

The project transforms two adjacent apartments into a single family home, drawing from Milanese design culture and its twentieth-century interiors. References to figures such as Piero Portaluppi, Gio Ponti and Caccia Dominioni informed the initial research, which was then translated into a contemporary interior.

Material research became a key part of the design process, from Portaluppi-inspired wallpaper and Vienna straw to natural woods, marble and terrazzo. Different materials and colour palettes define the two levels of the house, with deep greens characterising the ground floor and warmer, more saturated tones on the upper level.

Alongside the material and design research, I worked on the development of several custom-made elements, from folding and sliding doors to built-in furniture, following their technical development and execution on site.
