A colour

Everything starts with a colour.

A warm, red-tinged note covers the wooden floor. This is the colour that marks the start of the design, everything revolves around this shade. We are in a flat on the top floor of a building in Cazzano S. Andrea and our eye takes in the hills tinged with autumn. The construction is new: a single attic space characterised by a very high ridge beam and sloping roof pitches; so low that the height of the French windows is flush with the side walls. The floor is made of wood, an exotic wood with a characteristic warm red colour, while the ceiling is in a matching colour. The aim was to visually unify the architectural envelope in order to enhance the changes in height that characterise this flat. Thus, the guiding colour of the floor was carried over to the wood of the ceiling beams, while the walls, including window frames and armoured door, were painted white.

The kitchen is the heart of the house.

From this point on, the decor skilfully built the space, completing and enhancing it. This is the highest part of the flat, open and communicating with the adjacent spaces, which is why it was decided not to interrupt this sensation of open space even visually by installing a ceiling-mounted extractor hood. Its spatial dimensions allowed a central island to be located under the roof ridge. The entire length of the beam had to remain free and run seamlessly from one space to another. Below, only the Varenna matt lacquered white kitchen with Corian worktop. On either side of the island there is the equipped wall. The columns were deliberately not recessed and remained “leaning” against the wall, as if the furniture were floating. A design choice that reinforced the desire to blend the rooms into each other. Only Rimadesio’s full-height vertical aluminium doors interrupt these horizontal lines punctuated by the ridge beam and the kitchen. The note of colour, which nevertheless picks up on the tones of the wooden floor, is reserved for the bedroom. The acid green alternating with orange creates vertical bands of paint that form the backdrop for the specially chosen tubular aluminium bed heads.
The bathroom, on the other hand, becomes sober again. The Boffi décor was completed with a magnificent floor-level shower in cortex brown stone. The shower is large: it extends from one wall of the room to the other and the drains, invisible and positioned at the side ends of the plate, have been carved into the stone. This custom-designed and made-to-measure structure, together with the rest of the furniture, also contributes to the added value that can only be found in a home designed in detail. An established habit for the Zenucchi Design Code staff.
