Inside, the design focuses on the layering of materials, creating a dialogue between memory and contemporaneity. Terrazzo, a reference to old Milan, meets warm and enveloping walnut wood, while a spectacular suspended staircase in oxidized iron introduces an element of lightness and verticality. The design challenge was precisely that of orchestrating such diverse materials, linking them in a coherent and fluid narrative.

“The furnishings,” says architect Virginia Ministeri, “mitigate the bold character of the materials; there are many details that define an evident tailor-made approach. All the combinations find their balance in the overall view, best seen at dusk, when the space lights up like a lantern of peace in the frenzy of Milan.”

Listone Giordano’s Desir parquet flooring, chosen for the common areas and sleeping quarters, contributes decisively to the warm and enveloping atmosphere of the interiors. Its soft tones and the texture of the wood interact harmoniously with the architectural vocabulary of the loft, characterized by a deliberately heterogeneous but balanced palette of materials.

The parquet thus becomes an element of continuity and intimacy, capable of contrasting and at the same time enhancing the metallic and mineral surfaces present in the other rooms of the house. Its extensive use contributes to giving unity and rhythm to the space, emphasizing the domestic and welcoming character of the project.

In this project, the redevelopment of a productive space is transformed into a reflection on the theme of contemporary living, where materials, light, and the relationship between spaces construct a new idea of urban comfort.
