The charming atmosphere of the city

Outside, the noise of the city; inside, that quietness that only a custom-designed house can instil, between enticing spaces and convivial areas.

The inebriating city of Milan – with its charm and chaos – attracts and fascinates people from far and wide, given that it always has much to offer.

It is said that Milan never sleeps, like its big sister NYC; you can find oases of silence, tranquillity and beauty among its majestic buildings and lively atmospheres.

Everything is perfect! The nightlife is just outside your place, which spreads serenity every time you open the front door. The owner, a wellknown Serie A football player, and his partner chose this fourroom flat in Porta Nuova.

This is a district where architecture is dynamically developing, thus defining a new and beautiful city with large green areas, together with buildings designed to ensure comfort and privacy.

This large space, arranged to meet the residents’ needs and taste – was designed by architect Mirko Varischi who, with a precise and dynamic style, has been able to customize all areas, by combining modernity and comfort. After stepping through the door, the enveloping, elegant and warm wooden flooring welcomes you, together with the modern wood-panelled walls.

Warm and honeyed colours for the natural oak parquet, darker shades for wood panelling and furnishings, partly tailormade and designed by the architect.

This strategy makes every corner even more personal and optimizes even the smallest space. The white ceilings, flooded by the light of the windows, which overlook the large summer terrace, pleasantly contrast with the decor, optimized by design lights, to ensure enjoyable games of light and shadows in each environment at different times.

A home automation system manages the whole abode and the various settings, to create charming atmospheres.

Given the customers’ young age, architect Varischi added some furniture elements with modern features in the openplan living area, such as the bronze bookcase and the ironeffect wall with bronze-coloured finishing touches.

Both of the ensuites of the bedrooms are marble-covered with light-coloured travertine. The bathroom of the living area boasts a highly modern look with resin finishes.

The common thread among all areas is the attention to every detail, be it style, colour or light.

Nothing has been left to chance in this beautiful city flat, not even the warm energy that welcomes you at the threshold, guiding you along the whole housing path.
