dreamdesign has conceived the house like an open space with high ceilings and a large square area that allow a play in scale, proportions, and geometry. to add character to the space, which is designed in soft colors, the architects opted for complex color shades when choosing textiles, furniture, and lighting —  avoiding any excessive details and creating light features.

exquisite furniture from italian company giorgetti is accompanied by sculptural objects by riva1920, while verner panton armchairs embody the decoration of the bedroom and a checkered rug by vivienne westwood incorporates all color shades used in the interior. in addition, a monumental tortoise panel that symbolizes wisdom and prosperity serves as an additional symbol of a style beyond time. finally, an important design detail can be seen in the sliding panels between the kitchen and dining room, manufactured by the studio itself — made of  glass on the one side and covered in colorful copper petals on the other.
