The Appartamento a Grado, designed by practice Hus in the picturesque coastal village of Grado, Italy, has experienced an impressive renovation that highlights a blend of color exploration and geometric designs. This revitalization was inspired by the client’s love for lively hues, especially blues and yellows, which served as the cornerstone for crafting a stunning architectural tapestry throughout the apartment.
One of the remarkable features of this renovation is the installation of a movable wall, designed to provide a flexible and personalized interior distribution. This wall allows the living room, kitchen, and master bedroom to be joined or divided according to the required configuration. The inclusion of this element adds versatility and dynamism to the spaces.
To accentuate this flexibility, the connecting wall between these rooms has been adorned with full-height tiles displaying a gradual change in color and geometry. This textured wall becomes a visual focal point and unifies the overall composition of the flat. The use of white and blue tiles on the floor enhances the cohesiveness of the space, as their curvy shapes flow through all the rooms.
In an effort to create a harmonious design, bespoke furniture pieces such as a canopy bed, sofa, and coffee table were specially crafted for this project. These unique pieces engage in a dialogue with other Scandinavian furniture selections that have been chosen to suit the flat’s aesthetic. Each piece contributes to the coastal atmosphere of the space, integrating seamlessly with the overall design.
The plywood structure of the bed draws inspiration from a porthole, evoking a nautical ambiance. Additionally, the linen seat of the sofa is crafted by bending ship hulls, further accentuating the seaside theme. The mosaic coffee table incorporates the shape of Grado island, paying homage to the location and enhancing the overall coastal atmosphere.
The Appartamento a Grado showcases a visually stunning renovation that combines vibrant colors, geometric compositions, and flexible living spaces. The integration of bespoke furniture pieces and careful attention to detail elevates this project from a basic renovation to an architectural masterpiece. With its captivating design, this flat is sure to provide a unique and revitalized way of living in the charming seaside village of Grado.
