Chef's kitchen? Tailored solutions for the renovation of Casa Mazzini

Bespoke Project in a Historic Building

In the heart of Turin, an elegant apartment in a historic building is transformed into a contemporary retreat, designed for a globetrotting chef. The renovation, overseen by architect Matteo Magnabosco, highlights the kitchen as a space for conviviality and experimentation, with sophisticated technical solutions and refined design.

The client, a professional chef, has spent years in Tokyo, New York, Rome, and other capitals, overseeing restaurant openings. Despite transitioning to a managerial role, the passion for cooking and wine remains central, making the living area and the large dining table key elements of the project.

A new reference point between one business trip and another

The purchase of the apartment marks an important change: after years in hotels and rental houses, this becomes his first real home. The project was managed remotely, with a turnkey approach, completely entrusted to the architect to optimize time and decisions.

Cooking as the focal point of conviviality

As in different home renovation projects before and after the intervention has redefined the distribution of spaces, paying particular attention to the living area, conceived as the heart of conviviality. The protagonist is a total white island kitchen, designed as a stage for culinary experimentation.

To meet the needs of a professional chef, a large and impactful table was chosen, perfect for hosting work dinners and entertaining friends and colleagues. The existing kitchen was improved to ensure maximum efficiency, with:

• A new 90 cm induction hob with a completely flexible cooking surface

• A retractable glass hood, adjustable in height through a motorized system

• A customized kitchen countertop, modified on-site to integrate these advanced solutions

Materials and colors between functionality and aesthetics

The choice of colors and materials reflects the personality of the owner. The pure white, typical of professional kitchens, ensures order and cleanliness, while the finishes and furnishings tell about his "professional background".

The few chromatic details, in shades of gray and green, combine with materials such as marble, glass, and wood, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming environment. To add warmth to the space, details of Nordic inspiration, such as minimalist sideboards, vintage prints, and textiles in relaxing tones.

A balance between aesthetics and functionality

The organization of spaces has been designed to ensure a perfect balance between design and practicality. The wall bookcase, art pieces, and careful lighting all contribute to creating harmonious environments tailored to the owner.

Even the bathrooms have been reimagined with three-dimensional stone-effect coverings and sage tones, in harmony with the rest of the house. The conversation area, with a large corner sofa, becomes the ideal place for relaxation, balancing the dynamism of the kitchen.

A house that tells a story

This project is not just a renovation, but the creation of a space that reflects the owner's identity. Every element, from the furniture to the technical solutions, is designed to make the house a place where every return becomes an experience of regeneration and well-being.
