Private apartments
Regardless of the scale of intervention—from rebuilding structures and redesigning a simple corridor to merely arranging furniture—the fundamental principle governing our approach is consistent. As Blaise Pascal eloquently expressed, the true novelty often lies not in entirely new elements, but in their arrangement: "We cannot say that I have said nothing new. The arrangement of the subjects is new. When you play ball, it is the same ball that one and the other play with, but one throws it better."
Indeed, whether it's a comprehensive apartment refurbishment or a significant structural work, the core tenet behind each project lies in the dynamic, new relationship established with the pre-existing building. Every new interaction inherently modifies the built environment, striving always for a mutually beneficial connection.
This transformative power of relation is echoed in Manfredo Tafuri's profound analysis of perspective: "Perspective is by nature a double-edged sword: it offers to the bodies the space in which they can unfold freely and move mimically… but then eliminates this distance, absorbing in a certain way the world of things inside the human eye, the world that exists independently in front of him…" This insight points to a decisive break from the medieval figurative system, giving rise to a mathematization of visual space that effectively redefines art within the phenomenal field. Tafuri argues that this principle, valid for Renaissance perspective, equally applies to "ancient" architectural syntax or the system of orders: theoretical endeavors and practical application ultimately converge to establish – to 'build' – the foundational referent of art.
