How a Creative Couple Transformed an Abandoned Workshop Into Their Home, Milan 45sqm/484sqft

Video description from @nevertoosmall

Head to https://rayon.design/r/nts_piccola_drawings to explore the floorplan we recreated for Danilo and Paolo’s apartment and experience Rayon for yourself.

In Milan’s Isola district, interior photographers and content creators Danilo Floreani and Paolo Amerio of Home in Heidelberg transformed a former orthopedic shoe workshop into a warm, character-filled 45sqm/484sqft home. Starting with an almost completely empty shell, they opened up the space, uncovered the original timber beams and retained the existing arch, using the apartment’s height to create a mezzanine bedroom above the bathroom. Custom storage by Tylko makes use of otherwise overlooked areas, from a shallow hallway wardrobe to low chest of drawers fitted between the mezzanine beams, whilst a modular sofa keeps the home flexible for everyday life, working and entertaining. Glass blocks bring natural light into the bathroom, bold accents like the orange staircase and baby-blue finishes add personality, and the elevated bedroom creates a completely different perspective through the apartment.

Sized in precise 10 cm increments, it fits the space just right. Made from modules, it can be moved, separated and rearranged as life changes. Two bouclé fabrics, 15 colours and changeable covers option add flexibility, so Uff can keep adapting over time.
