A Milanese loft where the mezzanine is no longer a simple dividing element but becomes an active part of the furnishing. In Loft A-Milano a lattice iron structure shapes the whole home through a single geometry — the square — which returns everywhere: in the oak frames of the bookcase-mezzanine, in the wall-unit elements near the dining table, in the dividers between the sleeping area and the double height. Even the pillar supporting the mezzanine is perforated to hold wine bottles slotted in by the neck. A leaf wallpaper covers the volume of the walk-in wardrobe, in continuity with the sleeping area.
Spaces. The mezzanine was too small and had to be enlarged. This to properly host everything needed for the sleeping area.
On the ground floor. There is all the living space. The kitchen is set under the mezzanine appendix used as a bookcase. The structural furnishing develops in an L to leave the large windows free to let in natural light. The kitchen area houses a peninsula table, placed crosswise to define the kitchen space within the living space.
Bespoke furnishings. The bespoke furnishing all plays on the theme of the square and structures a hierarchy that visually connects the two levels. A zone of the mezzanine was created dedicated exclusively to a bookcase and reading area. The bookcase is made of oak frames within a lattice iron system. This same lattice is used for wall-unit elements near the dining table, while the same geometric motif, the square, is used as a divider between the sleeping area and the double height. The iron element supporting the mezzanine appendix is perforated, and is designed to hold wine bottles, slotted in by the neck.
The sleeping area is divided from the bookcase-mezzanine by a decorative volume, visible from the whole home, covered with a leaf wallpaper and housing the walk-in wardrobe. The bed is thus in direct continuity with the full-height space.
