In the centre of Rome, near the dome of St. Peter’s, architect Filippo Bombace restored a home characterized by a grid of stripes, giving life to the project called nonsonopoicosìcambiata (in Italian: I’m not so different).
The sequence of geometries enhances the simplicity of the new home. In a balanced mix of reclaimed and newly produced furnishings, the home is characterized by the use of oak – for the parquet flooring in French herringbone and the handcrafted furniture – and the ivory colour of the walls, worked with a rough finish plaster.
Finally, the fields that draw the lines in shadow grey delimit the space sometimes with a metal finish, sometimes in lacquered furniture, sometimes simply painted on the wall, triggering a game of geometric sharpness with the furniture and the owner’s collection of paintings.
