Recently, many Milan areas have deeply changed as a result either of the urban architectural redesign or of many buildings, once used for industrial purposes, redestination. Very often, also social changes have influenced entire city blocks’ aspect; one of the best known cases is that of the area between “Porta Genova” and “Navigli” where this apartment, derived from a former laboratory, is located. This area’s nature has suggested the idea of designing a house defined by a series of interconnected spaces occasionally interrupted by the building structure arches. Each room opens on the others: from the bedroom to the study, to the living room till the kitchen. Space continuity is emphasized by the same bookcase repetition. A homogeneity meant to highlight the uniqueness of individual items.
