We had the pleasure of collaborating with the architect Luca Gebhard, author of this exclusive project, built in the heart of Milan. The intervention was carried out in a 250 square meter duplex attic and was conceived taking inspiration from the decks of yachts, as the rooms have a 360-degree view of the city.

The beating heart of the house is made up of the large kitchen-bar island, made using natural oak alternating with white lacquered microstructured oak. The kitchen is completed by the dining area, enriched with furnishings by Carl Hansen and equipped with a cinema function, thanks to a retractable roll-up canvas. On the same floor, the sleeping area consists of four rooms, each with a private bathroom with minimal aesthetics. The white and functional storage units are counterbalanced by the bookcase in the entrance, characterized by a "warm" interior covered in oak wood.

The two floors are connected by a concrete spiral staircase, which seems to wrap itself around the small open-air terrarium, a greenhouse which, according to the designer's intentions, also functions as a clock, offering changing lights and shadows on the base of the time of day.

Entering that gable-ended Spouter-Inn, you found yourself in a wide, low, straggling entry with old-fashioned wainscots, reminding one of the bulwarks of some condemned old craft. On one side hung a very large oilpainting so thoroughly besmoked, and every way defaced, that in the unequal crosslights by which you viewed.
