Large spaces full of natural lightwhich wink at the style of urban lofts. Sabrina Tassini, journalist and founder of the blog Patchworkaporter he renovated the family home in the Po Valley, knocking down all the partition walls and recovering the attictoday transformed into a habitable attic. The single-family home, built by the grandfather in the 70s, was too introverted, without ties and with too small openings towards the surrounding greenery. Today, thanks to the demolition of the ceiling and the creation of a staircase that connects all the floors, the environment is much more livable and, above all, it is designed to be flexible and modular depending on the housing needs that may emerge over the years.
The search for a possible easy reorganization guided the choice of furnishings, almost all pieces that can be moved easily. The entrance screened by a double-sided bookcase which separates the hallway from the living area in a strategic and not too clear way, prevents those arriving from seeing the kitchen directly. The area dedicated to food is one open space with functional island and dining tableunited by wall shelves that create a visual connection between the functional areas.
The heart of the house is definitely the living room, with wood-effect stoneware on the floor and total white walls; the whole is essential and minimalist, like the brick staircase which leads to the attic. Born as a warehouse and granary, previously accessible only through a trap door, it has been made super-welcoming by opening up well four large skylights in the eaves; the Velux windows, equipped with external sunshades and internal filtering curtains, are real wells of light. Sabrina declares that the attic is one of her favourite corners: «I come here mainly during my days of smart workingthere is a small study area, I also keep plants there because it is a very bright and airy environment, thanks to the roof windows, very suitable for them to grow healthily. I also have a small fitness area where I can train while looking at the sky».
