House of Frames

120 m² · Guest House Design

A typical early-1900s Milanese home, made into a guest house with a distinct identity.

A reawakening of four bare walls into a space shaped by light, objects and atmosphere. An instinctive yet deliberate composition, where eclectic elements are carefully balanced into a coherent idea of hospitality.

THE SPACES

PROJECT 02 - MILAN

01

The Entrance

A long corridor on a checkerboard floor sets the tone — a dark floral wall on one side, a round mirror gathering the light on the other. Nothing announces itself; everything is placed by feel.
