An egg shaped kitchen emerges as the functional and spatial focal point in this renovated apartment in Piamborno, Italy.

The Project

The project entailed the renovation of a typical apartment from the 1970s with a marked day-night area division and a bearing pillar in the middle.

The interiors were reorganized to better articulate the living areas as well as utilize the attic space.

The design evolves around the kitchen owing to the client's emphasis on this space.

Characterized by its egg-shape geometry, the kitchen forms the heart of the new spatial composition.

The egg shape allows an ease of organization.

The fridge, cupboards and wall cupboards as well as the storage spaces are hidden in the interstitial spaces behind the bent wooden walls marked with big stainless steel handles or kitchenware hangers.

Halogen lamps fixed in the wooden ceiling light up the kitchen.

Two bent wooden sliding doors mounted on a thin stainless steel structure allow the kitchen to be closed.

The flat is also equipped with a double bedroom and bathroom.

The dressing area in the bedroom is concealed behind a curtain. The bed is made of a horizontal plane (15 cm of solid larch) which works as both a bedside rug and bedside table.
