DOMUS VITA - ROMA
RESIDENTIAL - 2022

The intervention consists of the renovation of an apartment located on the top floor of a building from the early 1900s in the city of Rome. The project was born from the study and reinterpretation of the place, guided by the theme of the Roman domus. The adaptation of the typical spaces of the domus to the needs of modern living has allowed a simplification of the space, composed of a single fixed element and a mobile one that modifies it according to the needs of daily living, in contrast to the spatial complexity characteristic of the city of Rome .
The use of thickly applied lime ensures that the surfaces are characterized by human manual workmanship, with a porous appearance that is pleasant to the touch, and determines a space sensitive to external light capable of changing its appearance throughout the day.
The project is thus immersed in the Roman spirit, a refuge at high altitude, far from the chaos of the city, capable of capturing light, smells, colors and atmosphere. Union between the ancient and the contemporary, an essential but interactive space, capable of changing shape and functionality with its architectural furnishings. An intimate place, which inspires hospitality and sharing... which generates LIFE.
