Facci Loft

 Wagner, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky, among many other well-known personalities, look at the duplex loft from the wall where the desk of the political journalist Filippo Facci, owner of the dwelling, is situated. It is a
Facci Loft 01real jigsaw of framed cultural, sentimental, and political references. There is even a Wagnerian bust, which brings a touch of kitsch to the office. In the same wall, which contains the accesses to the upper floor, there is an overflowing bookcase. In complete contrast to this personal wall, the rest of the dwelling is submerged in delicate minimalism, where white reigns in the basic shapes and the majority of the furniture, whereas red imbues the decoration with character. Some features, such as the English-style desk, the silver candelabra, and the burgundy velvet sofa, originating from the owner's previous dwelling in Milan, contrast well with the design pieces such as the Tulip chair by Eero Saarinen.

The lounge and dining room's immense French windows lookout over the red-floored terrace, which opens onto the garden. The kitchen is a simple steel structure designed by Giangi Mutti, the architect responsible for all of the remodeling of the industrial zone in which this loft is located. The Arco lamp, a great classic designed Castiglioni, lights the space in an original manner. The lowest ledges, which serve as shelving for the library and bar, are lit up and have been specially made in glass. The bedroom and bathroom are situated on the upper floor, which is reached by an internal staircase. A corridor with a simple overlooks the lower floor. The wooden structure of the bath brings a very original touch to the bathroom, which is in tune with the white theme of the dwelling.
