The interior designer Claudio Zanettin, a famous collector with a gallery in Cortina, collaborated with the owners to renovate this penthouse, situated on the top floor of a chalet offering panoramic views of the Dolomites.
The penthouse, previously divided into small rooms, has now been transformed into an open-plan space with distinct yet contiguous areas: a living area, a dining area, and a study area, created by adding a mezzanine to the central section of the living room.
