I.05 Anghiari
Close
An ancient farmhouse unfolds across four staggered levels and is located at the top of a hill in the heart of the Tuscan Val Tiberina. Built in different periods, with some sections dating back to the 14th century, the building has been renovated and furnished according to a conservation driven approach that preserves its historical stratifications. The structure is built in mixed masonry of stone and brick and is characterized by a sequence of small rooms divided by thick walls, with terracotta floors and pietra serena stone in the former stable areas, once used as watering troughs. The four levels follow the irregular slope of the surrounding land, providing independent openings to the outside; each of these portions has been designed to accommodate a bathroom, a bedroom, and a common area. The renovation involved restoring parts of the original flooring in the kitchen and bathroom areas and finishing the old walls with lime based plaster.
The choice to use a single material for the furnishings a semi finished product consisting of a birch plywood core clad on both sides with solid oak aims to create a sense of continuity throughout the interiors. Following the same logic, wooden platforms placed in the common areas host the sofas, creating slightly raised zones. The dining tables in the living area and on the outdoor patio are made of solid oak and teak, featuring a joinery system specially designed for the client. Bookcases, desks, wardrobes, and shelving units are part of the studio’s collections and have been crafted from this distinctive layered wood material, which enhances strength and durability over time. The kitchen, also from the Giacomo Moor collection and fitted with a QuadroDesign mixer, is defined by a large countertop with an integrated Botticino marble sink.
MA.01 Minorca

The construction system, based on complete autonomy between the supporting frame and the cladding panels, allows for easy replacement of damaged elements without affecting the entire structure. The same construction principle is applied to the design of the roof, which is completely independent and fits into the supporting grid, thus meeting the need for a more or less sloped roof depending on the environmental conditions of the unit’s installation site. Ease of adaptation in all three dimensions, structural autonomy between parts, and easy replacement of individual components are the design criteria that make this micro-architecture extremely flexible and exportable to very different socio-environmental contexts.
I.04 Brera, Milano
Close
A mid 1940s Milanese apartment in the Brera district of Milan. The project aims to trace a line of continuity between the various rooms, respecting the original floor plan, thanks to a series of custom made light oak furnishings that enhance the brightness of the rooms and the architecture of the spaces. The style of the solid wood bookcases in the living area and bedrooms is echoed in the full height handles that outline the wardrobes in the hallways and entrance. The kitchen with stainless steel top and handles is part of the K.01 collection.
I.03 Crocetta, Milano
Close
Three Milanese apartments, designed for Fondazione Elpis, with a very regular layout are transformed into residences for artists to be lived and inhabited by people coming from places of heterogeneous cultures. The inclusion of our furnishings, rethought and adapted to the context and its needs, wants to create an element of continuity between the various environments through the almost obsessive repetition of the theme of interlocking, also expressed in different ways on types of furnishings distant from each other. Thus dry-assembled solid wood tables, benches and beds alternate with storage shelves in which the construction system is explicitly declared or with suspended wooden platforms in which orthogonal planes are intersect to generate seating systems.
The main material, oak wood, adapts perfectly to the structural characteristics of the furnishings and, a chromatic level, helps to define a coherent language. The inclusion of colours, never used arbitrarily, identifies portions of furniture that for various reasons require specific treatment: soft linoleum and resistant, it protects table and desk tops; the laminate, easily washable, covers kitchen doors and wardrobes; stone, hard and waterproof, characterizes the kitchen tops; the natural fabric, removable and washable, designs sofa upholstery. A recurring color tone has been applied to each apartment with different shades and saturations, in the various materials combined with oak.
I.02 Città Studi, Milano
Close
Apartment in Città Studi, located in a building by architect Giovanni Mistretta built in the 70s. The intervention creates a visual and physical connection between the two environments, through a slender and rigorous grid in solid chestnut wood that designs the space and responds to different needs: in the living area it is the supporting skeleton of an opening window that connects the dining room with kitchen; along the staircase it transforms into a handrail to then become, on the upper floor, a balcony equipped with shelves.
The kitchen, characterized by a large exposed sink in Dekton, integrates silently into the space and the custom made chestnut handles take up the section of the joists of the other furnishings. The sofa, an aerial wooden platform, marks the walls opposite the window and alternates the seats with Kvadrat fabric upholstery with support surfaces. The space on the upper floor, a transition point between the common areas and the sleeping area, is designed as a large studio featuring a full wall desk, equipped with drawers, which intersects with a custom made daybed.
I.01 Balduina, Roma
Close
A Roman apartment from the early 1960s located in the Balduina area was redesigned by Studio Alessandrelli_Pazienza for a couple of collectors. The site specific furnishings project was entrusted to Studio Giacomo Moor by the Giustini / Stagetti Gallery who selected the other furnishing elements together with the clients. Studio Moor’s intervention aims to create a line of continuity between the various rooms of the house, through different types of furniture. In the master bedroom, thin solid wood frames with a triangular section alternate with shelves, creating a bed and a screen equipped with a desk.
The same language, repeated at the entrance to the living area, defines a floor to ceiling bookcase that shields the view towards the dining table. A sequence of storage furniture of different sizes marks the other parts of the room, alternating with the sofas, conceived as platforms suspended on orthogonal planes. The essence used, ash wood, recurs in all the furniture, and is used both for its brightness, consistent with the selection of limited edition pieces in the Gallery, and for its extreme resistance when used in small sections. The sofas and armchairs on the terrace, again based on a site specific project by Studio Moor, interact with the basic module of the travertine flooring and reflect the style of the other furnishings, this time using teak, a wood resistant to atmospheric agents.
K Sempione, Milano
Close
Milanese apartment from the mid 70s in parco Sempione area. The intervention aims to trace a clear but at the same time light division between the living area and the kitchen. A solid oak wood frame, covered with ribbed glass, defines an autonomous full height volume that crosses the room.
The working area, completely covered in brushed stainless steel, contrasts with the warmth of the oak used on the counter on the living room side, to underline the functions of the two areas. Two portions of the windows slide laterally allowing the passage of food and connecting the rooms. The storaging part is integrated into the coloumn, in chromatic continuity with the walls.
