Locatelli Partners

A unit repeated several times defines a system for creating balanced forms in a building, at the same time, the use of repeated and reiterated elements involving slight modifications is the result of a careful research on the paths and purposes of each space. In this Milan apartment, the arch is a portal capable of invitation and protection through the use of opaque glass, arched passageways with iron padding and mirrored doors or reflective mirrors.

“The rhythm of the arches recalls the rhythm of the building - says ML referring to the arched passages between the living area and the study, a solution with great scenographic impact - it is an operation that I would never propose elsewhere, but here it is in harmony with the context and makes sense. My idea always starts with understanding where you are and then framing the intervention.”
