Like a theatrical stage set, the highly scenic kitchen of this Genoa apartment is concealed behind a long yellow curtain. This textile device integrates seamlessly with custom-built furniture, matching it in color. Every room possesses a distinct chromatic identity that extends far beyond wall and floor surfaces, touching every detail down to the plumbing pipes. Redefined in its layout to suit the demands of contemporary living at the expense of a fragmented room arrangement, the home does not entirely disown its original division, preserving traces of it through custom furnishings and architectural backdrops that replace the old walls. These elements perform a corrective function in terms of visual perception, re-establishing a system of pure geometries where the original layout was built on non-orthogonal lines and irregular spaces. A contrast between softness and rigidity helps define the new scheme: curtains and orthogonal tile grids, austere walls and round openings.
