This intervention created a step to the entrance area of the apartment, that has been solved by introducing a tailored carpet. There is a precise line that divides the day area with the night area, they still are with the same pavement made by Rovere wood. The same parquet, is also used in vertical surface that defines the coating of the back of the kitchen, and for a wide sliding door, that become a movable wall.
The wideness of that wardrobe, together with the closet, the bedroom cabin and the suspended wardrobe in the living area, gives a wide amount of space dedicated to the recovering of items, clothes and food supplying.
