Tommaso Baudi di Vesme
Casetta
2015
built
Renovation of an old flat in Turin. Every room had different floors, similar to ancient mosaic, so the approach was to treat the ruined parts in the same way as for mosaics, covering them with a material that has no tiles nor division: resin.
The furniture design is minimal, composed by white flying planes for horizontal surfaces, and by wooden finishings for the vertical ones.
Artificial skies
2015
built
Renovation of an old flat in Turin. Two oblique cuts defined by lower ceiling, different flooring and, for the bathroom, walls, specify the technical spaces, with the living room in the middle. The only window of the living room doesn't waste an inch of light, lighting up the living room and the bathroom thanks to an internal window placed when the wall becomes straight; two mirrors near the window itself give the illusion of endless windows.
Giacomo's house
2016
built
Renovation of an old apartment in Turin. It was the house of Giacomo Soffiantino, beloved painter and a true friend.
The challenge was to give order to spaces through the use of color and to dispose the old wooden furniture and the paintings.

realized
Renovation of a country house near Turin. The light is the main character; considering the height pf the ceilings (4,5m) we decided to invent these suspended lamps, to colonize an empy space with light and these architectural objects.
Shop04
2013
with SIN TESI
realized
The shop was a 6 meters high concrete pipe. We decided to emphasize the dimension of this huge space by putting long and high mirrors and by creating a neon cloud of light above dresses and clothes. On the walls, we studied a system of light hung by invisible steel cables that also support a steel bar to which all the dresses are hung. On the background, a huge wall covered with industrial wood.
InteriorScape
2010
realized
Renovation of a detached house in Sardinia. The request was to extend the living room until the two pillars that held the roof, to rethink the front to provide a large opening to the landscape and, finally, to rebuild the interior stairs, to make them less steep and more comfortable. The main front has been built in local stones and I decided to open a french window as large as possible to provide a perfect dialogue between internal and external and to make the porch the natural expansion of the house. The stairs have been conceived in local wood and have been generated by curvy lines, to invite the user to follow them.
