History, character and design mingle with sophisticated tones amid aesthetic and highly cultured suggestions in a Milan apartment that rediscovers its soul thanks to a restoration that weaves past and present with refined lightness.
In Milan 85 square meters of sophisticated elegance Studio NOE9 designs for a couple an apartment marked by fluidity between spaces. American walnut furniture is the protagonist.
An early 20th century apartment in Milan recovers its original elements. NOE9's signature renovation reinterprets historic textures and materials to create a contrast of optical geometric textures, neutral surfaces and design icons.
Colored glass that connects and separates. This is the central element of the interior of the house in Trüllikon, Switzerland. The architects from the NOE9 studio are expanding the possibilities of modern design here. The blue and yellow glass not only creates eye-catching colour accents, but also different lighting situations and blurs the boundaries between rooms.
Combining architecture and interior design is not always an easy feat. NOE9, an architecture firm based in Zurich and Milan, is a successful example of the symbiosis between the two disciplines.
This inner courtyard of a hotel in Palma de Mallorca inspired the architects of NOE9 with its atmosphere and at the same time became a place to reflect on the architecture.
A severe geometry. A box made of microarchitectures, volumes and surfaces. Of sculptural furnishings and plays of color that add an artistic and decorative touch to the environment. “The clients' desire was to maintain as much as possible the nature of the villa: a completely asymmetrical open space both inside and out.”
An Art Nouveau home is certainly a valuable starting point. Elegance, lightness, naturalness--these are all qualities that have made early twentieth-century art a carefully preserved heritage, reinvented in endless variations and recalled in so many homes, if only with a Tiffany-style lamp on the bedside table.
With a combination of architecture and interior design, the Noe9 team creates living spaces with a fine touch down to the last detail. The office, based in Zurich and Milan, brings a pinch of Italian flair to Switzerland.
