4 Family Houses
Rome, 2019
Client: Private
Surface: 140sm (each house)
This interior design project for four villas extends beyond furnishings to address broader and more complex aspects: internal layouts, the detailed design of staircases, and overarching technological and structural strategies.
Commissioned after the Building Permit, the assignment required a comprehensive rethinking of the spaces within all four residential units. While maintaining the existing building envelope, it was essential to optimize the energy performance of each house and enhance interior livability, with a particular focus on spatial flexibility.
To achieve these goals, the decision was made to replace reinforced concrete with a X-lam timber structure, enabling the villas to reach the highest energy efficiency class. Simultaneously, the internal layouts were revised to strengthen connections between indoor and outdoor spaces, while the staircases were redesigned as integrated, functional architectural elements, contributing both to circulation and the overall spatial experience.
