Experimental

The intervention in an old apartment at the top of a historic building in a weary city begins with the premise of active preservation: existing elements — wallpaper, mahogany doors, fireplace, flooring — are retained as material witnesses of a typological logic built on separation: living room vs. bedrooms.

The operative gesture is that of parasitic insertion: two black-tiled bathrooms, deliberately intrusive, contaminate the surroundings, crossing programmatic and spatial boundaries. New carpentry and metalwork, designed as light, green elements, introduce a language of high contrast without erasing the pre-existing fabric.

In the hallway, a partial demolition reveals a restrained gesture: a fragment of wall is preserved, a trace of the lost corridor — a memory inscribed in transformation.

This rehabilitation does not seek purity or symbiosis; it embraces the tension between languages, temporalities, and materialities.
Everything matters — and therefore, nothing does.
