Blick in die Stadtwohnung. Die Stadtwohnung sollte urbanes Leben mit Klarheit und Struktur vereinen, um akademische und berufliche Ziele mit maximaler Zeit für Lebensgenuss verbinden zu können. Die Kunden sind überzeugt und fühlen sich rundum wohl. Entstanden ist ein Ankerplatz, ein Platz zur Entspannung und zum geselligen Miteinander. Freunde sind begeistert über die Großzügigkeit, Exklusivität und trotzdem Gemütlichkeit, die die Wohnung mitbringt. Ein besonderes Highlight im Wohnbereich ist der hochwertige Pflanzkübel und der Massivholztisch. Klarheit und Ruhe strahlen die wiederkehrenden Materialien und Farben aus und geben der Wohnung den Anschein als wäre Sie aus einem Guss.

Designed by Fabio Fantolino, Lagrange House is located in the heart of the city of Turin. Two apartments in one inhabited by mother and son, perceived as a single space that may be divided allowing each to preserve a sense of individual personality and independence. The internal design is inspired by the styles of the 1950’s and 1970’s, each a contamination of the other. The hand-sanded Hungarian oak herringbone flooring sets the scene forthe entire project. Some items are found in both apartments: the handles, the round table in the dining area. The mother resides in the larger apartment, which is elegant and sophisticated thanks to the richness of the materials used, the marble, the fabric and the highly polished steel features. The flavour of the 1950s finds its greatest expression in the living area which, apart from its elegance offers different areas of expression. The conversation area is developed around a Minotti Freeman Tailor sofa, featuring a rigorous cotton titanium-coloured fabric and a double-stitched linearmotif, typical of the 1950's, contrasting with soft elements such as carpets, De La Cuona pale pink velvet-covered armchairs with Bowl by Mater tables at their sides. The study area has a walnut desk, softened by the light from an Aballs T by Parachilna suspension Lamp. The Calacatta gold marble table surrounded by dark velvet Verpan chairs with a black structure is in the centre of the dining area, illuminated by the warm light from a black Tango lamp from the Phanto collection. The setting is completed by two parallel niches and a black burnished iron archway: a glass showcase for dishes and an opening allowing for a glimpse of the kitchen in black fenix with shelving in American walnut enriched with Calacatta gold marble interspersed by TopanVP6 coloured pendants by &Tradition. The guest bathroom maximizes the richness of Arabescato marble used as a vertical lining which contrasts with the aquamarine door of the washbasin cabinet with circular walnut particulars. The upstairs sleeping area is conceived as a haven, an intimate place between the delicacy of light grey wood panelling, a Phanto PawFloor lamp and a Verner Panton black flowerpot bedside lamp. To further define this atmosphere, the Gubi Beetle Chair seat with a black structure and velvet lining and the table lamp designed by the architect Fabio Fantolino. The smaller apartment has a design closer to the '70s. The loung has a more contemporary and informal air, a Percival Lafer vintage leather armchair, a petrol-coloured Gianfranco Frattini for Tacchini sofa and light alcantara chrome-plated tubular chairs. The kitchen can be closed-in on itself, serving as a background to the dining area. The guest bathroom has dark tones in red Levanto marble with details in black and chromed iron. The sleeping area features a blue velvet headboard and a corner white panelling in the corner that houses a wall cabinet, bedside table and custom made lamp. The bond between the two home owners and, consequently, between the two apartments is underlined by the seamlessly laid floor and airs details that represent a unique design that adapts and models the personality of the individual, revisiting different historical eras that are exalted by the use of contemporary design icons.

Un loft immense, dans un ancien garage, à rénover entièrement pour moins de 250 euros par mètre carré ! Il a fallu ruser.... les anciens propriétaires avaient peint les murs en vert pomme et en violet, aucun sol n'était semblable à l'autre.... l'uniformisation s'est faite par le choix d'un beau blanc mat partout, sols murs et plafonds, avec un revêtement de sol pour usage commercial qui a permis de proposer de la résistance tout en conservant le bel aspect des lattes de parquet (en réalité un parquet flottant de très mauvaise facture, qui semble ainsi du parquet massif simplement peint). Le blanc a aussi apporté de la luminosité et une impression de calme, d'espace et de quiétude, tout en jouant au maximum de la luminosité naturelle dans cet ancien garage où les seules fenêtres sont des fenêtres de toit qui laissent seulement voir le ciel. La salle de bain était en carrelage marron, remplacé par des carreaux émaillés imitation zelliges ; pour donner du cachet et un caractère unique au lieu, les meubles ont été maçonnés sur mesure : plan vasque dans la salle de bain, bibliothèque dans le salon de lecture, vaisselier dans l'espace dinatoire, meuble de rangement pour les jouets dans le coin des enfants. La cuisine ne pouvait pas être refaite entièrement pour une question de budget, on a donc simplement remplacé les portes blanches laquées d'origine par du beau pin huilé et des poignées industrielles. Toujours pour respecter les contraintes financières de la famille, les meubles et accessoires ont été dans la mesure du possible chinés sur internet ou aux puces. Les nouveaux propriétaires souhaitaient un univers industriels campagnard, un sentiment de maison de vacances en noir, blanc et bois. Seule exception : la chambre d'enfants (une petite fille et un bébé) pour laquelle une estrade sur mesure a été imaginée, avec des rangements en dessous et un espace pour la tête de lit du berceau. Le papier peint Rebel Walls à l'ambiance sylvestre complète la déco, très nature et poétique.

When the owners purchased their property, it had not really be touched since the 1980s and needed a lot of working doing to it. The 1920’s villa had a dark hallway with solid wooden doors and was very enclosed. The owners knew that glass doors would be the ideal solution, so they started to narrow down their supplier selection concluding that Crittall doors were a lot more solid with more weight to them, as they have a lot more steel. From their point of view and given the provenance of the house, they were seeking an original, authentic product and wanted to put something back into the house that matched the genre, look and feel of the art deco era. One of the issues was that as the doors were going into the large entrance hallway, they needed fire doors. Having looked at the products available, one of the things that really ticked the box for Crittall was they had a very good fire rating certificate which the building inspectors were happy with. After visiting Crittall Specialist Partner, Yes Glazing Solutions’ showroom, they found their solution having seen the product in situ, and viewed the hardware options. They were really pleased with the robust products from their opening and closing, the weight of them and their sound proofing – which really worked. They commented ‘they look great and they tie in with some of the furniture we had made which is also black powder coated to coordinate. The main issue was the hallway, which was really dark and dingy when first entering the house, which has now opened up into a beautiful area, with light flooding through’. Interestingly, whey they moved into the property, they got used to living in an open plan space and were worried about losing light and space and feeling cramped with the space being taken away. However, ‘the new doors created quite the opposite effect, completely transforming the house. The light was still there with all the rooms sectioned off, helping create space which we really noticed. The study office, main reception and lounge were all given a different look and feel’. The Crittall doors addressed the issue of sound reverberating around the house with no disturbance and are one of the first things that visitors comment on when they visit. ‘They know immediately they are Crittall; their unique design just has the angles and distinctive look, which is great when you are trying to create a period feel and bring back the 1920s glory with the parquet floor and certain other features such as the mottled mirrors. The doors definitely influenced our choice of interior design’, they added.
