CASA METEORA
Apartment renovation
Milan | 2024
Casa Meteora is conceived as a lunar landscape suspended over the city of Milan. An idyllic plateau where light dominates a continuous space scattered by surprising elements that recall distant planets and sci-fi universes. The kitchen island is like an asteroid landed from space, leaving the exposed concrete columns as traces of the impact. The master shower is a spectacular belvedere over the city skyline, cladded in basalt and granite like a volcanic cliff. Every detail contributes to creating a domestic landscape made up of sensory cues and seducing atmospheres. An unconventional scenario that becomes the cradle of everyday habits and gestures: a meteor that becomes a home.
Casa Meteora would not be the same without the artworks that inhabit it. From the very beginning the project has taken into account the client’s personal vision in developing his art collection over the years. A selection based on memories, connections and fantasies that set and extremely interactive bond with art. On the way out of the house, a large mirror by Mungo Thomson reproduces the cover of the Time, while from the bathtub someone can indulge in looking at a self-portrait of Shen Wei, taking care of his bonsai trees. Art conquers space to become a housemate, sharing the rituals of daily life.
