A bright apartment: the living room as a gallery

A decorative grid wall that divides without closing, and a bespoke sleeping area.

The floor plan

The grid wall separates the entrance from the living room without taking light away. The dining table faces the window, the sofa faces the media wall; the bedrooms open onto a short corridor.

From emptiness to project

Bare walls, exposed systems, no furniture: this is how a house looks before the works, and it is hard to imagine it finished. Move the slider and look at the same room as we designed it. This emptiness, with us, you see it furnished in the headset before choosing.

Drag the slider, or use the arrow keys.

The building-site views are reconstructed with AI from the renders: they show how a building site usually looks, which is why it is so hard to imagine the result.

In the headset

The fitting room of the house

You do not buy a dress from a photo: you try it on. With the virtual reality headset you walk into the project at real scale, even while the house is still a building site, and you check what a floor plan cannot show: the height of a shelf, the space between sofa and coffee table, the passage with the doors open, the afternoon light.

Fewer doubts, lower costs. In the headset a second thought costs a click. On the building site it costs days and work to redo. The site opens only when you are one hundred percent convinced.

It is not a compulsory step: it is useful when, after the renders, a doubt about spaces and sizes remains. You try the headset in the showroom, by appointment.

The project in images

Every image opens like a curtain: move the slider and see how the room looked before the project.

Who worked on this project

The project drawings include the plumbing and air-conditioning systems: the contractor knows where every pipe runs before cutting a chase.

Your architect or ours. If you already have an architect, we work with them. If you don't, we find one for you, together with contractor, electrician and plumber: professionals who have worked with us for years, in an ongoing relationship. No hit-and-run jobs.

If you want it, the project also includes home automation: lighting scenes, motorised curtains and shutters, climate and alarm managed from your phone. It can be done with a wired KNX system if you renovate, or without building work if the house is already finished. We plan it together with the furniture, not afterwards.

A home to design around Arluno or Milan?

Bring us the floor plan: we look at it together in the showroom

Tell us the budget: we build the project around it, starting from what matters most every day.

Why we stop at the render

The finished home we leave to the people who live there.

We do not show photos of completed jobs: inside there are the things, the habits and the life of the people who live there, and that is the most beautiful part. The render is the project; the real house is always one step further, warmer and more lived-in.

The images are renders of the project. For privacy we do not name the client or the location.
