Questa abitazione si trova all’interno di un bellissimo parco in un caratteristico borgo lombardo, sulle rive del fiume Adda.
Il progetto di ristrutturazione, realizzato per una coppia di professionisti con due figli, rivoluziona completamente la vecchia struttura mantenendo intatte le facciate principali.
Il layout del piano terra ruota attorno al blocco ascensori/scale che nasconde parzialmente gli ambienti dietro un retroscena funzionale e contenitivo.
Attraverso l’ingresso principale, un corridoio ben illuminato, conduce alla sala da pranzo.
Dall’ingresso principale si possono anche vedere lo spazio lavoro a destra e la zona living a sinistra.
Al primo piano troviamo la zona notte dove i volumi originali sono stati preservati e dove nessuna divisione interrompe il percorso delle travi in legno dipinti di bianco.
Nella camera dei ragazzi, invece, una zona filtro dedicata ai giochi interrompe la continuità visiva.
Al piano del seminterrato si trova un ampio spazio dedicato alla lavanderia, alla cantina e ad una zona dedicata agli hobby dei padroni di casa.
Comodissimo il passaggio diretto dai box alla casa. Tutti i pavimenti della zona seminterrato e del piano terra sono realizzati in
cemento mentre nella zona notte i pavimenti sono in legno verniciato nero, tranne nel bagno padronale dove la scelta è stata rivolta ad una materiale naturale come la pietra serena.
I mobili sono realizzati in corten, acciaio e laccato opaco.

Considering the physical, mental, and emotional needs of people, interior designers use human-centered approaches to address how we live today. Creating novel approaches to promoting health, safety, and welfare, contemporary interiors are increasingly inspired by biophilia as a holistic approach to promoting health, safety, and welfare, contemporary interiors are increasingly inspired by biophilia as a holistic approach to design. By definition, interior design encompasses diverse aspects of our environment. The discipline extends to building materials and finishes; casework, furniture.

Biophilia is the idea that humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature. The term translates to ‘the love of living things’ in ancient Greek (philia = the love of / inclination towards), and was used by German-born American psychoanalyst Erich Fromm in The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (1973), which described biophilia as “the passionate love of life and of all that is alive.” The term was later used by American biologist Edward O. Wilson in his work Biophilia (1984), which proposed that the tendency of humans to focus on and to affiliate with nature and other life-forvms.

Design in Details

In design, we bring characteristics of the natural world into built spaces, such as water, greenery, and natural light, or elements like wood and stone. Encouraging the use of natural systems and processes in design allows for exposure to nature, and in turn, these design approaches improve health and wellbeing. There are a number of possible benefits, including reduced heart rate variability and pulse rates, decreased blood pressure, and increased activity in our nervous systems, to name a few.

Over time, our connections to the natural world diverged in parallel with technological developments. Advances in the 19th and 20th centuries fundamentally changed how people interact with nature. Sheltered from the elements, we spent more and more time indoors. Today, the majority of people spend almost 80-90% of their time indoors, moving between their homes and workplaces. As interior designers embrace biophilia.

Incredible Result

Establishing multi-sensory experiences, we can design interiors that resonate across ages and demographics. These rooms and spaces connects us to nature as a proven way to inspire us, boost our productivity, and create greater well-being. Beyond these benefits, by reducing stress and enhancing creativity, we can also expedite healing. In our increasingly urbanized cities, biophilia advocates a more humanistic approach to design. The result is biophilic interiors that celebrate how we live, work and learn with nature. The term translates to ‘the love of living things’ in ancient Greek (philia = the love of / inclination towards), and was used by German-born American psychoanalyst Erich Fromm in The Anatomy of Human Destru ctiveness (1973).
