Residenza B05 is an interior architecture project by chromastudio, which uses colour as a design tool and as a key element in the organisation of space. The layout is built around a central corridor, from which the rooms unfold through a sequence of thresholds and visual transitions that define the functions without relying on rigid partitions.
The corridor, a connecting element between all the spaces, becomes a space in its own right. Here, a large custom-made wardrobe integrating the laundry area has been inserted. Mo.1950 oversaw the realisation of this tailor-made integrated furniture system, working on the customisation of a Caccaro wardrobe in terms of finishes and proportions.
From a spatial and chromatic perspective, the burgundy ceiling and the walls with rounded corners accompany the movement, facilitating flows and transforming a passageway into an inhabited space.
The living area is conceived as an open-space living and kitchen environment, organised through colour fields. Access is through a portal that introduces a unified space, while a second threshold marks the transition between the living area and the kitchen. This is a sliding glass door made to design, developed by chromastudio and translated into a custom-made element by Mo.1950: characterised by a system of graphic arches that evokes a Parisian imagery reinterpreted in a contemporary key, in response to the clients’ request to bring into their Milanese home some references connected to their own life experience in Paris. A further threshold is entrusted to a door integrated into the corridor wardrobe, which allows the living area to be discreetly separated from the sleeping area.
The project is based on an articulated colour composition, constructed through approximately fifteen shades in relation to one another. In the living area, the peach ceiling accompanies the living area and introduces the Cesar kitchen, one of the custom-made solutions overseen by Mo.1950, which worked alongside the studio on the custom made development and realisation of some of the project’s elements. The kitchen is defined by a strong presence of sage green in Fenix Verde Kitami, contrasting with a deep purple. The mosaic flooring, designed as a pixel-like pattern in purple, petrol, honey and pink, dialogues with the natural oak parquet in a Hungarian herringbone pattern.
All the elements are conceived as custom-made; the glass door, flooring, integrated furniture and finishes contribute to defining geometries and proportions.
Completing the interior design of Residenza B05 is a selection of furnishings, including the Cloti armchair and the Myon coffee table by Frag, together with the The Floor is Lava and Kyrin rugs by Carpet Edition, selected from among Mo.1950 partners, in keeping with the material and chromatic research developed by chromastudio.
In the sleeping area, the colours become denser and more controlled, extending to the bathrooms, which combine deep greens, pinks and terrazzo surfaces.
In Residenza B05, colour becomes invisible architecture, a silent structure that organises space and defines its identity.
