House D&E Between Ancient and Modern. The restoration of a manor house that meets modern architecture and lives in new wonder

The main objective of the architectural project by MM2 studio was to integrate the philological restoration of historical spaces with the contemporary contribution of new environments, redistributing the rooms and expanding the living space.

Conceiving new spaces and new ways of experiencing the environment through architectural restoration work.

The building, a late nineteenth-century dwelling, was expanded in the 1930s with the construction of a structure intended for use as a stable and washhouse. This was destroyed before the conservative rehabilitation intervention. The current project, by the MM2 architecture studio, has led to the development of two new living units, following the contemporary needs of living. The manor house, annexed and functional to the large agricultural enterprise that develops in the surrounding areas, has been reimagined, playing with the search for a balance between historical charm and contemporary sophistication and innovation.

Color as Identity and Definition of Style.

The first task was to define, in total agreement with the client, a color palette that would bind all the environments and elements of the house. This included the material solutions for floors, walls, and fixtures. A project in which the study of colors and natural light has allowed for the shaping and redefining of spaces and details. Contemporary inserts have completed the philological restoration.
