Our clients wanted a space where they could relax, play music and read. The room is compact and as professors, our clients enjoy to read. The challenge was to accommodate over 800 books, records and music. The space had not been touched since the 70’s with raw wood and bent shelves, the outcome of our renovation was a light, usable and comfortable space. Burnt oranges, blues, pinks and reds to bring is depth and warmth. Bespoke joinery was designed to accommodate new heating, security systems, tv and record players as well as all the books. Our clients are returning clients and are over the moon!

Un intervento di ristrutturazione radicale, quello progettato da Bartoli Design, per una coppia con figli adolescenti trasferitasi in un appartamento di 210 metri quadrati, all'ultimo piano di un edificio anni '80. Le richieste dei committenti erano di mantenere lo stesso comfort della loro precedente più ampia abitazione in questa dalla metratura inferiore, ma in zona più centrale, trovando inoltre nuova collocazione per i pezzi di arredo storici della famiglia. Appassionati di design e amanti della vita sportiva e rilassata, la coppia cercava una soluzione abitativa luminosa, per contribuire al benessere della famiglia. Questa non era l’impressione che dava l’appartamento quando gli architetti lo hanno visitato per la prima volta: una pianta labirintica con numerosi piccoli locali e, al centro, una scala chiusa che conduceva ad un soppalco buio. Si trattava però di uno spazio con tutte le potenzialità di un ultimo piano immerso nel verde, con finestre affacciate su quattro lati e tetto a falde inclinate dalle diverse angolature. Il progetto di Bartoli Design ha disegnato una nuova pianta e configurazione dell'appartamento in zone aperte una sull’altra: sono state demolite le pareti interne e quelle del vecchio soppalco, la cucina è stata spostata all’estremità opposta, i corridoi sono stati sostituiti da pochi pannelli di chiusura scorrevoli o pivottanti che spariscono a filo parete. Durante il giorno quindi dall’ingresso alla camera da letto principale lo sguardo corre ininterrotto, dalle porte aperte la luce filtra negli spazi. Un'altra parte complessa del lavoro di ristrutturazione ha riguardato la distribuzione di tutti gli impianti negli scarsi spessori disponibili a soletta e nelle pareti.

Our poster project for The Three P's, this small midcentury home south of campus has great bones but lacked vibrancy - a je ne sais quoi that the clients were searching to savoir once and for all. SYI worked with them to nail down a design direction and furniture plan, and they decided to invest in the big-impact items first: built-ins and lighting and a fresh paint job that included a beautiful deep blue-green line around the windows. The vintage rug was an Etsy score at an awesome price, but only after the client spent months scouring options and sources online that matched the vision and dimensions of the plan. A good year later, the West Elm sofa went on sale, so the client took advantage; some time after that, they painted the kitchen, created the drop zone / bench area, and rounded out the room with occasional tables and accessories. Their lesson: in patience, and details, there is beauty. Photography by Gina Rogers Photography
