An intervention that revised the layout of the entrance in favour of greater functionality and visual elegance of the external fa\u00e7ade. A new interior layout of the living room has also been designed and a new look in order to communicate with the antique furniture existing. The old layout of this classic style private residence had the main entrance raised above the remaining rooms. The landing took place on a mezzanine level in correspondence with the staircase leading to the night area.\u00a0 In doing so, an entrance area was certainly identified, separating from the rest of the rooms. The raised position compromised its functionality.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.modulor.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Lorenzo_Silvana_4.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;new entrance ancient contemporary 01&#8243; title_text=&#8221;new entrance ancient contemporary 01&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>THE NEW ENTRANCE<\/h3>\n<p>By bringing the main entrance to the ground floor, on the same level as the living room, the renovation also involved the appearance of the external fa\u00e7ade, restoring visual balance. A wall equipped with a recessed showcase therefore closed the previous entrance area. This showcase is in an extremely essential style, with glass shelves and closure in order to show small collectibles.\u00a0 At the same time, it lightens the closing wall and constitutes an excellent protection element considering the raised position. To define an area that can act as a filter between the exposure of the external space and the privacy of the internal rooms, we chose a false ceiling with punctual lights. This visually detaches itself from the remaining ceiling both for a difference in the real and perceived height, and for the backlight, that underlines its borders. In order to delimit this room with the adjacent living room, a wardrobe took place with doors salvaged from an old wardrobe. The plasterboard structure gives more solidity to the furniture that naturally fits into the context as a sort of equipped dividing wall. The dark wooden doors of the eighteenth century, in addition to being an antique furniture to deserve greater visibility, relates consistently to the other old existing furniture. Like a sort of chamber of wonders, a wunderkammer to resume historical and artistic terminology, the interior holds a surprise. A gold wallpaper recovers all walls whit its contemporary graphics but classic in style. The best representation of the match between contemporary and ancient that characterizes the project concept. Glass shelves are attached to the external structure and act as a connection with the entrance wall, recalling the style of the showcase.<\/p>\n<div id=\"gtx-trans\" style=\"position: absolute; left: -49px; top: 9px;\">\n<div class=\"gtx-trans-icon\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.modulor.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Lorenzo_Silvana_5.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;entrance ancient wardrobe &#8221; title_text=&#8221;entrance ancient wardrobe &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.modulor.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Lorenzo_Silvana_6-A.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;wardrobe closed doors&#8221; title_text=&#8221;wardrobe closed doors&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.modulor.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Lorenzo_Silvana_6-B.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;wardrobe open doors&#8221; title_text=&#8221;wardrobe open doors&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>LIVING ROOM<\/h3>\n<p>The living room has been modifies in its layout and slightly enlarged. This meant that the dividing wall with the dining room could be equipped with contemporary furniture capable of perfectly fit with the room. In particular, it consists of an essential TV cabinet n white lacquered MDF with upper glass wall units. A recurring material in the entrance and living room. Placed on the corner, instead a library alternates empty elements with full volumes whose colours reflect the medium gray of the plaster and the white of the contemporary furniture. An often-winning combination, both as concerning the reinterpretation of modern classic style, and in a contemporary perspective. The colour match is also visible in the choice of the new gray leather sofas that stand out against the white back wall. Beyond the dividing wall of the living room, there is the dining room with an important, linear and extremely elegant dining table covered with gold leaves. The real treasure of this room. It matches with classic dark leather seats that perfectly relate to the colour choice. An antique dark walnut storage units recovered from other rooms, relates to these, further enhancing the dining room.<\/p>\n<div id=\"gtx-trans\" style=\"position: absolute; left: -37px; top: 9px;\">\n<div class=\"gtx-trans-icon\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.modulor.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Lorenzo_Silvana_3.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;living room ancient contemporary&#8221; title_text=&#8221;living room ancient contemporary&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.modulor.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Lorenzo_Silvana_1.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;tv cabinet library living room&#8221; title_text=&#8221;tv cabinet library living room&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.modulor.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Lorenzo_Silvana_2.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;dining room table golden leaves ancient furniture&#8221; title_text=&#8221;dining room table golden leaves ancient furniture&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.3.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Ancient and contemporary can perfectly match creating suggestive environments.
