Creation of a relaxation, leisure and wine-tasting area within a private home.
In the center of Mantova city, the basement of an old palace becomes a private hospitable place to spend enjoyable evenings and meetings. The place is in good condition, the cross vaults and the bricks’ color create a striking atmosphere, while another small room with the barrel ceiling reveals itself as the excellent place for the wine reserve. The starting point of the project was to change the least possible the existent architecture and to not abolish it with the insertion of the furnishing. The main room were divided in areas: the kitchen, the tasting-corner, the table for 20 people and the relaxing corner.
The kitchen is the most important area, the heart where all the rest turns around. It is chosen a steel worktable, while a white wood covers the vertical section. The kitchen is perfectly equipped, with high performance appliances. In the tasting-corner we find a glasses display, a fridge cellar and an “old” slicer Berkel.
As in the jeweller’s showcase, a light and transparent window divides the room from the cellar, which is furnished to contain bottles of excellent wine and to be a tasting area. The fitting out light and transparent underlines the original architectonic structure.
In cooperation with Showine.
