APPARTAMENTO DI 150MQ IN VIA PESTALOZZI 22 A MILANO A MILANO

Neo-brutalist loft with an elegant industrial> The loft, located on the first floor of a building designed by Giuseppe Tortato, an architect very active in Milan who signed innovative projects, creates an imposing and solemn environment and shows the typical features of an industrial space: industrial brick walls filled with perfectly insulating soundproofing, exposed conduit metal pipes, 5-meter ceilings, double tempered stained glass windows. The neo-brutalist interior is inspired by the famous Pierre Chareau's "Maison de Verre”. One wall of the living room is a whole stained glass window revealing the skyline and some beautiful gardens. The space concept offers extreme comfort to practice all the most pleasant domestic activities: listening to classical music vinyls directly from the unique hi-fi audio system created by skilled Italian artesans (Sonus Faber “Guarneri” speakers from 1994), reading books and design, lifestyle and history magazines and searching the beauty in front of a picture - such as Gabriele Basilico's famous “Beirut” from a 1991reportage in Lebanon that depicts one of the city’s bombed corner. The solid oak bookcase, hung on the wall like a picture, is a creation by the artist cabinetmaker Giuseppe Amato and gives a warm effect to the living room - as well as being a cultural inspiration. In fact all the design and art pieces almost make the apartment as an interactive museum. On the floor is another homage to Chareau, the natural rubber stamps in sand color. The sliding doors are made of industrial aluminum. On the lower floor there is a fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom with a television and a bathroom with a big shower. On the upper floor, reachable through an imposing iron staircase, there is the master bedroom with an upholstered queen size bed and a cozy reading corner with a classic19th century burgundy leather armchair. The ensuite bathroom lounge is divided into two areas: one with a large built-in bathtub and shower head and the second one with the sanitary ware. Both are full of natural light for the glass-concrete wall and opening window. The building is a unique two-story architecture of wood, metal and concrete with stairs, elevator and a well-kept lawn green garden and blue hydrangea. Clean and reassuring.
