Local studio Archiplan is commissioned to execute a budget-friendly renovation for an Italian holiday home, whose structure dates back to the 15th century. The site of the building is located in Mantua, Lombardy and is to be transformed to serve as a homey tourist getaway.
Given the restrictions of the budget-friendly renovation project and the provided creative freedom, the studio focuses on balancing the old and the new. The historic frescos that appear throughout the apartment are preserved as authentic decor elements, while the parts that could not be saved are painted over with a muted color palette that accents the artwork.
Without a doubt, the home's beautiful heritage architecture and the expressive detailing will delight visitors with its charm.
