The Italian Architect and Designer Claudio Silvestrin recently invited the NOWNESS, the cultural platform, as well filmmaker Matthew Donaldson to conduct a feature for their Residence series.
His 180m2 London apartment, finished in 2009, very much shows of many of his minimal signatures. The home, which has a view on to a wharf on the Regent’s Canal, "consists of an open-plan living area and kitchen on the main level, with a study and private bedrooms on the mezzanine level.
The 5m-high open space, constantly bathed in natural light, is manifested through a complete stretch, longitudinally and vertically, of its architectural elements: wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows, a white finish solid parapet at mezzanine level that expands from one side of the apartment to the other, and a free-standing white-finish dwarf wall which, while enhancing one’s visual perspective, also creates a seamless bond between the activities of dining, cooking, reading and studying."
