“History Repeating” Apartment in Turin, Italy by Marcante-Testa

It’s hard to fathom that within a traditional 19th century building in Turin, Italy lies a delightfully quirky apartment that’s bursting with character. Faced with a rather soulless interior, Andrea Mercante and Adelaide Testa (previously UdA Architetti) sought to not only renovate the space but construct a vibrant new identity

Italian architects Archiplan Studio have renovated an entire multi-storey residential building in downtown Mantua, Italy, including the interior of this apartment dubbed Casa RJ. This luxury home is rich in history, which is further enhanced with a careful overlap of the contemporary elements expressed as a study of sophisticated details and a sensual material palette. The original features, such as the ornate ceiling and some of the walls, date back several hundred years. The interior carefully maintains a layering approach, which creates slight structural ambiguity.

The original planning and distribution of the spaces has been maintained, while the subdivision of the interior spaces was achieved via a series of new furniture elements designed to form part of the structure, achieving a second layer of spatial hierarchy. The project showcases a sophisticated layering of elements that overlap without vanishing, creating a stunning union of the old and the new, achieving a certain kind of equilibrium and a carefully balanced relationship between opposites in which one doesn’t take precedence over the other.

Xintiandi Penthouse/Shanghai-Joyce Wang

A three-storey penthouse with views overlooking the lake and city skyline. It is the home of a family who entertain frequently, so it was necessary to create public areas that feel special, providing a generous but intimate backdrop for parties and dinners. By contrast the more private areas are like a retreat for the family.
