The 3rd architectural journey takes us to the north-west of Italy in a center street of Torino, in front of the facade of an industrial urban mini-loft.
Large and high bay windows from the street and vertical glass brick opening illuminate the whole interior volumes from ground floor to the mezzanine space.
This architecture is arranged in duplex : a majestic entrance in arcade recalls those of the old town center of the famous italian industrial capital.
Featuring a marked monochromatic contrast, the graphic architecture of this mini-loft rests on a rough stone wall that extends to an courtyard floor.
Ground floor opts for one-way mirrored windows to ensure a certain privacy preserving the external pedestrian flow.
The arcade incorporates an armored main door and a sliding blind opening onto the inner courtyard - just like the London workshop –studio.
Steps leading upstairs and those inside the mini-loft add the colorful touch that echoes the outdoor greenery.
The inner courtyard offers enough space to park 2 "small"or city cars : fountain-wall of water stretching towards the sky bring a note of freshness.
Both square of greenery with fountain-wall of water stretching towards the sky bring a note of freshness.
If the industrial interior of this mini-loft may seem cramped, on the contrary it highlights an atypical volume combined with an impressive ceiling height.
Ground floor of this urban mini-loft offers an integrated fitted kitchen, a bathroom and toilets with storage units as well as an exceptionally bright living room.
On 1st floor, the mezzanine space consists of a separate bedroom and an office area separated by a large adjoining storage cupboard.
