Swiss Knife Apartment

Located in the historic center of Oderzo, Northeast Italy, in a mid-1900s building, this 42-sqm apartment is the product of a full renovation. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the client asked for a project that would fully equip this small lodge with all the amenities and comforts of a regular size house.

This stimulating challenge required a design paying attention to every single detail resulting in an expression of the fine Italian craftmanship. After the demolition of all the internal partitions, a compact element has been added playing the leading role in the apartment. The new item provides for all the main functions of the house containing a fully equipped kitchen, every kind of storage and shelves, water heating, washer-dryer, bathroom, air-conditioning system, etc.

For its space-saving dimensions in relation to the multifunctional essence, it could be compared to a Swiss Knife.
