Bespoke paneling and optimized spaces: Contaminations, fine renovation of a family apartment in Bari, Italy

Contaminations is a renovation project of a 90-square-meter apartment in which the precious boiserie distributes and at the same time hides the spaces of the house

In Contaminations , architect Marco Tassiello, in charge of the apartment renovation project, took into account the reuse of furniture from the clients' previous homes. The property, a family consisting of the parent couple and already grown children, also needed to have two separate sleeping areas. In fact, the project plans to use the living area as a connecting room between the two private areas that are instead placed at opposite ends of the house

The oak paneling is the central and highly distinctive element of the project. Decorated by vertical grooves in the wood, it conceals within it the passages to the services and rooms, which are closed by concealed doors, some full-height, equipped with a special groove handle that creates additional decoration. The paneling also houses the kitchen's white lacquered wood built-ins, and at the top it masks and makes the ducted ventilation system valuable to the eye
