Subtle glass and natural stone accents uplift apartment

Etiam Studio lets natural light, glass and natural stone subtly uplift and create cosy accents for this spacious Milanese apartment.

Being south-oriented, the house gets ample sun exposure from morning to evening while also offering superb views of the park below.

Following this principle, the architects decided to place the living area in the brightest part of the house; this meant demolishing pre-existing walls and replacing them with large, textured glass partitions that divide spaces without interrupting the light path — creating a pleasant play of reflection and transparency.

Another fundamental aspect of the project was the selection of materials. The apartment’s innate elegance led the architects to choose amongst different natural stones, creating a game of colors and textures in every room while maintaining a minimal, simple, and rigorous design language that weaves across the renovated interior.

The resulting design, with its fresh layout and sophisticated material palette, reveals an elegant and light-filled interior that transcends time and trends.
