Project Attico 49×6
Attico 49×6 stems from the need to create a holiday house for six people on a surface of 49 covered sqm only.
In order to optimise the spaces, the project is inspired by marine concepts, where every centimetre is used.
The outside space, covered with Ravaioli decking, becomes the living core, reminding of a boat deck.
The warmth of wood contrasts and enhances the total white candour of the house.
approach to the project
ARKIMERA develops tailor projects, with custom solutions that combine attention to details and search for details.
Every element is selected and adapted to the needs of the client and the context, with balance between aesthetic and functionality.
This search aims at finding original solutions that go beyond conventions and improve daily use experience.
