A symphony of colors dances among the rooms of the Sottocorno apartment.

In the heart of Milan, the Lascia la Scia studio signs the renovation of an apartment that weaves together colors, past, and present: natural light and the expressive power of color, between original details and custom-made furniture, are the design key that gives life to a unique and timeless atmosphere.

When design meets history

The studio Lascia la Scia oversaw the renovation of an elegant apartment in Via Sottocorno, located in a building from the early 1900s, rebuilt in the 1950s. The project followed a conservative approach, maintaining the original layout of the spaces while reinterpreting them to meet the needs of contemporary living. The distribution remained unchanged, with targeted interventions to improve the functionality of the rooms without altering their historical essence. For example, the bathroom was reorganized to accommodate a larger shower, while the kitchen was expanded and opened up, integrating with the windowed corridor to enhance natural light. This careful balance between tradition and innovation is a distinctive element of the best interior design projects, capable of combining history and modernity.

Cement tiles, a hidden treasure beneath your feet

During the renovation works, the project unveiled fascinating discoveries, including the recovery of a precious original cement tile floor in the living room. Although some parts were damaged, the intervention allowed for the preservation of its authenticity: each piece was lifted, restored, and repositioned with great care, sourcing identical cement tiles to complete the missing areas. This meticulous work restored the apartment's historical character, enhancing its identity. The respect for the original materials is also reflected in the furnishings, an eclectic mix of antique furniture and custom solutions, carefully selected to create environments rich in personality and timeless charm.

Chromes for a bold character interior

The wise use of color is the guiding thread of the project, giving each room a well-defined identity. Each volume is designed as a story in itself, with bold chromatic choices that enhance the architecture of the apartment. The entrance introduces to a vibrant world, made of refined contrasts and precious materials. In the kitchen, the mustard velvet bench wraps around the black marble table, creating a warm and convivial atmosphere. The bathroom, a monochromatic box in octane resin, surprises with black finishes and brass details, while the arched shower becomes the protagonist of a sophisticated and timeless space. In the bedroom, the deep shades of blue blend with the "Toile de Jouy" wallpaper by Lewis & Wood, which envelops the wardrobe in a decorative embrace, transforming the environment into an intimate and elegant retreat.
