Casa VB

Casa VB is located in the centre of Florence, in the Santa Croce district. The project reorganises the interior spaces to create a home for its two young owners while also accommodating part of their professional activities.

The apartment is arranged mainly on a single level, with an additional space on an upper floor used as a small sitting room and guest bedroom. Within the central circulation area, a custom-designed wooden volume acts as a filter between the entrance and the new kitchen, defining the different spaces without completely separating them.

The living area opens onto a large, bright room, from which a single-flight staircase leads to the upper level. An arched opening marks the transition to the sleeping area, which includes a workspace with two workstations and the main bedroom.

The interior is characterised by a neutral and minimal language. White plastered surfaces and oak strip parquet run throughout the apartment, creating a restrained, almost Franciscan simplicity. Wood is also used for the custom-designed filter volume and to clad the treads of the staircase in the living area.
