8&A Architetti
Residence for a collector
Text by Luisa Parisi
Ancient memories are reborn through the Milan project by 8&A Architects Studio, Anna Barile and Antonio Ottoboni, reflecting the owner’s life and passions as art collector. The vast late 19th century spaces in the center of Milan find a contemporary breath through the new project, the design furniture and the personal art collection. The project required a radical intervention to restore the original elegance of the residence, removing the 1970s superfetations and gaining back the 19th century symmetry. (…)
To enhance the nineteenth-century composition elegance, various materials and different elements were mixed without hesitation. Classic details counterbalance the modern settings and the contemporary pieces which are also destined to become part of the design history.
