Frescoed Rooms by Studio Doppio

Studio Doppio have completely renovated and restored  this stunning garden apartment located in Turin, Italy, in 2017. Take a look at the complete story after jump.

From the architects: Complete renovation of a large apartment with garden, located in the heart of Torino’s San Salvario district, designed together with architect Marco Bozzola.

The flat has an L-shaped lay-out nestling the garden overlooked by the bedrooms, study and living room. Prior to the renovation works, the Southern wing, which houses the bedrooms, bathrooms, utility room and living room, consisted of rooms with false gypsum-board vaulted ceilings. During renovation works, late 19thcentury frescos were uncovered, yet, due to the client’s new distribution requests, the walls supporting the vaults had to be removed to create the current spacious day area. The use of iron beams to support the vaults made it possible to display a variety of ceilings composed by frescoed vaults and new plasterboard lower ceilings, thus combining old and new elements.

bookcase.
