CASA SEI/OTTO
DESIGN ON TWO LEVELS
ATTICO SEI/OTTO IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A CREO TURNKEY PROJECT. OUR INTERIOR AND DESIGN DEPARTMENTS WORKED IN SYNERGY TO BRING TO LIFE THE SPACES AND FURNISHINGS IN THIS CONTEMPORARY HOME ON TWO LEVELS.
ACCESS TO THE HOUSE OPENS DIRECTLY INTO THE LARGE OPEN PLAN LIVING AREA, AND THE ENTRANCEWAY IS IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFIED BY A FULL-HEIGHT CUPBOARD WITH RIBBED OAK DOORS, A STYLE THAT IS REPEATED ON THE TV CABINET. THE LARGE SOFA, MADE FROM A CREO DESIGN, HAS A METAL FRAME WITH VISIBLE WELDING AND TAILOR-MADE CUSHIONS UPHOLSTERED IN LEATHER, EVOKING THE MATERIALS USED IN MOTORCYCLING. THE LIVING ROOM IS COMPLETED BY ELEGANT, FUNCTIONAL SHEET-METAL BOOKCASES.
THE SPECTACULAR OPEN STAIRCASE LEADING TO THE UPPER FLOOR, MADE WITH A METAL FRAME AND OAK STEPS, TAKES CENTRE STAGE IN THE SPACE, ALONG WITH THE GLASS TABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM WITH A BLACK PAINTED METAL FRAME AND CLEAR CRYSTAL SURFACE.
CONNECTING THE LIVING ROOM AND THE KITCHEN IS A PENINSULA WITH A STOVETOP FACING OVER THE LIVING AREA, AND A HARDWOOD COUNTER EXTENSION WITH A HANGING WINE RACK. THESE FURNISHINGS SEPARATE THE SPACES WHILE MAINTAINING CONTINUITY BETWEEN THEM.
THE ATTIC HAS TWO BATHROOMS: ONE MORE FUNCTIONAL, AND THE OTHER MORE INTIMATE, DECORATED WITH A LARGE CIRCULAR MIRROR AND DIRECTLY ATTACHED TO THE BEDROOM VIA A PASSAGEWAY.
BOTH BATHROOMS FEATURE CONSOLES MADE FROM SOLID OAK WITH RIBBED FRONTS.
THE BEDROOM IS MINIMAL, BUT WITH AN UNUSUAL STANDOUT FEATURE: THE STRUCTURE OF THE BED WAS MADE FROM A CREO DESIGN, USING WELDED IPE BEAMS PAINTED IN GLOSSY BLACK – STRUCTURAL BUILDING ELEMENTS TRANSFORMED INTO FURNITURE. THE HEADBOARD IS A PATCHWORK OF TREATED LEATHER, SEWN TOGETHER WITH SEAMS IN A GEOMETRIC PATTERN. COMPLETING THE PROJECT IS THE BEDSIDE TABLES, TWO MONOLITHIC SECTIONS OF TREE TRUNKS.
