In the heart of the prestigious Parioli neighbourhood of Rome, in a historic building from the early twentieth century, an attic of 320 square meters has been reborn thanks to an ambitious and careful renovation. Distributed on two floors, the apartment has been completely reconfigured to meet the modern needs of the client, without giving up the unique charm of its historical heritage. The redefinition of spaces has led to a plant that celebrates natural light and functionality. The entrance welcomes visitors with a spacious lounge area, the beating heart of the house, which harmoniously combines the main living room and dining room. This central area, conceived as a "hinge" between the different souls of the residence, leads to the most formal part of the house, which includes a refined studio, ideal for moments of concentration and productivity. On the opposite side, the most intimate and private part opens up: here there is space for a modern and perfectly equipped kitchen, three bedrooms intended for kids, each carefully designed to meet different personalities and needs, and the main room located on the upper floor. This master suite, accessible via an internal staircase with an imposing and sculptural style, represents an exclusive and refined refuge, with spectacular views of the Roman skyline. The interior design aims for an impeccable balance between tradition and innovation. Fine materials such as herringbone parquet and vintage details have been combined with contemporary and minimalist elements, creating an environment that speaks of timeless elegance. The choice of neutral and refined shades intensifies the brightness of the spaces, while tailored furnishings and cutting-edge technological solutions give personality and comfort. The renovation was guided by a clear vision: to create a home that was both functional and representative, able to tell a unique story in which past and present are interwoven with skill. The result is a penthouse that reflects not only the needs but also the dreams and aspirations of those who live it, an authentic jewel in the enchanting setting of the Parioli.
