Green Island
City: Milan, Italy
Project: Marzia Brandinelli e Silvia Refaldi – Verdearchitettura
Description:
The terrace of a fabric designer’s apartment, on the eighth floor of a modern building, is an elegant open-air lounge for relaxing moments. An exceptional background: the Duomo and the roofs of the Lombard capital. This is how, without the obsessive search for original plants that are difficult to cultivate, a terrace can become luxuriant and achieve the difficult, but ideal balance between elegance and simplicity.
Simplicity, therefore, and elegance for this terrace of about 110 square meters, played on various shades. A linear but not trivial outdoor living room and, at the same time, a terrace that extends the living space of the home-studio of the fabric designer Giulia Salamon, creating a whole between domestic interior and exterior, capturing its magical brightness.
