Home to two graphic designers with a love of colour, form, and playful detail, this once dark, L-shaped 1920s apartment in Milan’s historic Città Studi has been reimagined by the talented team at ATOMAA. Original features like red and black concrete tiles and an exposed structural pillar were preserved and celebrated, while the layout was thoughtfully reworked to introduce a small art studio, a raised work come breakfast nook by the window and a tranquil loft space above the bedroom wardrobe—ideal for reading or hosting guests. A freestanding metal kitchen anchors the open-plan living area, with a hidden pantry tucked behind a sunny yellow curtain. Bold design touches—like arched doorways, port whole windows and a rattan-wrapped wardrobe add playful contrasts in material and form and celebrate both history and creativity.
