TB apartment
The TB apartment, on two floors, is a part of a historic multi-family building and it’s located in the municipality of Ton.
The custom-made furniture project entails, on the ground floor, the living area and the garden, on the first floor the sleeping area, the study and the private living room, as well as the spiral staircase connecting the two levels. In the private living room, dominated by the red Verona marble fireplace with the Thun family crest, the walkways of the castles inspired the creation of a stage: this raised floor level was created to integrate the spiral staircase, and at the same time to theatralize the ancient family furnishings. Furthermore it can also function as a bench to enjoy the relaxing view of the landscape. On the ground floor, a further rise integrates the sofa with the staircase leading to the first floor.
The design enhances the spatial characteristics of the accommodation and its history: the vaults on the ground floor, the high ceilings with wooden beams and the marble fireplace on the first floor, the large windows of the living area framing the garden. The furnishings’ finish, a deep dark gray, evokes the colour of the parts blackened by the fires, discovered during the restoration phase. The lacquer is applied to the custom-made wooden furniture, to the resin-coated spiral staircase, and to the fabrics of the sofas and beds, contrasting with the light gray of the Venetian terrazzo flooring.
In the sleeping area, dark gray lacquered wood is present on the walls and fabrics, warming the rooms.
The lighting project sees the use of a few LED lighting fixtures in line, aligned with the beams, giving the spaces a suggestive and abstract atmosphere. In the living room stands an eighteenth-century lantern, a model historically suitable for this rural residence that dominates from above a valley rich in culture.
