Apartment SL, the details of luxury restoration in a listed building

In the historic center of Turin, BRH+ renovates a prestigious apartment in Palazzo Pucci Baudana. A project that combines restoration, contemporary art, and innovative system solutions.

Tailoring Renovation

BRH+ signs the tailoring renovation of an apartment in the heart of Turin, transforming it into a laboratory of new relationships between past and present. The intervention, meticulously calibrated like many home renovation projects signed by BRH+, is designed to accommodate a precious collection of contemporary art. The design approach preserves the nineteenth-century historical identity of the context, introducing non-invasive plant solutions that are perfectly integrated.

Pucci Baudana Palace, historical value of the protected building

The apartment is located in Pucci Baudana Palace, a historically significant building built in 1841 in the Borgo Nuovo district, commissioned by King Vittorio Emanuele I. The facades, with elegant classical linearity, are protected by the Superintendence, and the project has dealt with strict constraints to ensure preservation and enhancement of the heritage.

Modern comfort and respect for the original identity

To achieve high standards of energy efficiency, the systems have been integrated without altering the original characteristics: the historic parquet flooring has been lifted and repositioned, while the existing fixtures have been restored with targeted interventions that improve thermal insulation. Even the historic floorings, including the terrazzo and national walnut wood, have been expertly recovered.

Art and custom furnishings define the spaces

The entrance, dominated by the ottanio color and a fresco by Victoria Stoian, is designed with custom fixed furnishings that enhance the art and conceal secondary passages. Daytime spaces are developed between vaulted and decorated living rooms, while the kitchen alternates between smoked oak Alps and velvet onyx for a sculptural effect.
A functional boiserie system, with inserts in wood and natural stone, organizes the internal distribution and incorporates doors and passages in a mimetic way.

Marble, onyx, and noble materials

In bathrooms, marble and onyx take center stage with refined cuts and surprising colors, crafted by the historic Turin-based company Sommo Marmi.
The bedrooms feature diverse spatial solutions: in the son's room, furnishings in grey root wood interact with a custom Biscuit parquet by Listone Giordano, while a rediscovered niche becomes a suspended alcove, blending functionality and poetry.

Aesthetics between contemporary art and historical memory

The intervention demonstrates how contemporary architecture can harmoniously interact with the memory of the past, through refined material choices, custom furnishings, and invisible technological solutions. A virtuous example of how the home can become a narrative space, where aesthetics, comfort, and culture coexist.
