Pinerolo apartment, Italy

My dream of heading to Europe for a unique project was realised in June this year when work began on the refurbishment of a 17th Century apartment in northern Italy. While there was no structural work to do the place was a shell and the challenge of the original (and very bowed) 16th Century wall running the length of the kitchen was quite a challenge. With a minuscule budget and an environmental ethos we scoured the local Marcertinos and antique markets for pre-loved treasures. The bedroom with it’s dramatic blue walls and rich tapestry creates a sense of drama and warmth while the rest of the apartment is crisp and earthy.
