Perspectives in sight

In the heart of Franciacorta, you can admire a house with a modern and industrial design, between plays of light and aerial views.

The project of this large and bright loft – the ideal home for a young family – stems from the renovation of a former barn, surrounded by the green hills of Franciacorta. The needs of the customers and the elegant and modern creativity of architect Mirko Varischi.

The property, by maintaining the perimeter walls and closing the original openings with large windows with iron frames, develops into a high and airy central area which, favouring an all-encompassing view of the whole setting, is distributed on two levels.

On the ground floor, the star is the open living area, entirely marked by a linear and refined design and set up with different areas. The project aimed at a regular spatial definition, marked by the design, the colours driven by the light walls, the resin floors, the wainscoting and the widespread iron inserts.

The materials define the modern and industrial character of the entire home, while the architecture, with the creation of a mezzanine floor – with particular views of the living area and an aerial and transversal walkway leading to the sleeping area –, underlines and highlights the intersection of views and perspectives.

The lower floor, characterized and heated by a hanging fireplace and by the warmth of the long wainscoting connecting to the kitchen area, is completed with modern and minimal furnishings, design objects, spotlights and lamps.

An iron staircase then leads to the walkway, which is the meeting point – as well as the separation one – between the different bedrooms, organized on the sides. On one side, you enter the master suite; on the other, following the path of the mezzanine, you come across the children’s rooms.

From the living room, you can glimpse both the relaxation area with a piano on the left and the gym with the protruding “cube” of the master bedroom on the right which, like an internal window, catches the light and benefits from the general surrounding brightness.
