Tucked away among the ancient buildings of the city center, this tower has been reclaimed through a restoration that preserves its heritage while transforming it into a residence for a professional couple.

The collaboration between the clients and the Studio sparked a rare synergy, resulting in a project defined by experimental ideas and bold, reimagined solutions, culminating in a final result that is both unique and extraordinary.

Meticulous lighting design, combined with a strategic redistribution of space, the installation of glass flooring and pocket doors, a corten steel staircase, and bespoke furnishings, define the character of this home and its distinctly international appeal.

The Basilica of Saint Anthony, standing in all its magnificence with its pinnacles, spires, stone tracery, and domes, reveals itself through the expansive glass wall of the kitchen, offering a breathtaking urban backdrop
