It is a refined transformation of a <strong>European period apartment<\/strong>, a symbol of an increasingly widespread trend: <strong>reinterpreting historic homes with a contemporary aesthetic, respectful of the cultural and architectural roots of the place<\/strong>. <strong>\n<\/strong>These apartments \u2013 spread across Paris, Milan and Barcelona \u2013 are often characterized by elements such as <strong>high ceilings, parquet floors, ornamental moldings<\/strong> and <strong>deep windows<\/strong>. However, the internal distribution reflects ways of living in the past: separate rooms, thick walls, complex circulations. ARRCC does not seek to erase these elements, but to <strong>enhance them through light, materials and the dialogue between ancient and modern<\/strong>.  <strong>\n<\/strong>The project focuses on <strong>natural light, spatial flexibility and craftsmanship<\/strong>. The furnishings are positioned so as not to obstruct the views, while integrated lighting systems and equipped walls extend the perspectives, creating <strong>visual depth even in the tightest spaces<\/strong>. The ceilings are kept simple, to enhance the materials chosen for the floors: <strong>marble, carpets with a stratified texture and natural surfaces<\/strong> that visually anchor each room.  ","testo_b":"A central role is entrusted to the theme <strong>of manual skills and tailor-made production<\/strong>. In an era dominated by mass production, ARRCC brings a <strong>polished, tactile and personal<\/strong> aesthetic to its projects, inspired by South Africa's artistic roots. The pieces chosen or designed for the interior are distinguished by <strong>authentic materials and handcrafted details<\/strong>, able to express identity and warmth.  <strong>\n<\/strong>The design approach is <strong>profoundly human<\/strong>: each intervention is the result of careful listening to the client's needs. Through personalized meetings and questionnaires, the studio builds a narrative that takes into account the ways of life, emotional needs and habits of those who will inhabit the space. <strong>\n<\/strong>Even <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/higoldmilano.it\/collezioni-arredamento-giardino\/\">outdoor spaces<\/a><\/strong>, such as terraces, balconies or small courtyards, are treated as precious extensions of the home, carefully framed to <strong>amplify the sense of openness<\/strong> and connection with the outside.<strong>\n<\/strong>Working in historic European buildings involves constraints: protection constraints, structural restrictions, non-modifiable elements. Yet, it is precisely within these limits that ARRCC finds fertile ground for <strong>respectful creativity<\/strong>, capable of blending past and present in an elegant and authentic way. <strong>\n<\/strong>This project in Barcelona represents a model of contemporary residential design with historical roots, where every choice \u2013 from the arrangement to the material \u2013 is designed to create <strong>a refined balance between memory and innovation<\/strong>.\n\nINFO\/PHOTO COURTESY: Tenille Peckham - PR Manager","foto_articolo":[63871,63873,63875,63877],"guest_o_libero":"","prezzo":"","chiara":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1594"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63879"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63879\/revisions"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63877"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63875"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63873"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63871"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
