Cosa intendo con Arredamento Zen Moderno? Siamo a Milano, in zona City Life, dal quarto piano di questa palazzina si possono toccare le torri e i complessi abitativi tra i più famosi della capitale Lombarda. Non ho messo pannelli scorrevoli in carta di riso, e neanche un tatami in camera dal letto… allora perchè parlo di atmosfere Zen Moderne? Beh, dovete giudicare dalle foto per capire se dico giusto. Il proprietario di casa ama due cose in particolare, il minimalismo e il Giappone. E come cerco di fare sempre, il mio modo di progettare mira a tradurre in design il carattere di chi abiterà la casa. Quando ho affrontato la ristrutturazione completa di questo appartamento ho stravolto completamente la distribuzione della casa, che aveva la cucina in zona notte (giuro non sto scherzando) e ho cercato di aprire il più possibile gli ambienti. Ne è derivato un gioco di scorci visivi incrociati, di inserti bianchi e dettagli di legno color Bamboo. Il risultato è aver reso la casa molto più vivibile di prima, e aver adottato uno stile essenziale che secondo me in qualche modo evoca la pace di certe case giapponesi. E secondo voi?

The goal of this bathroom renovation was to maximize space for the shower and minimize tub area by removing a large jacuzzi tub that no longer worked. The glass block window was not removable so I developed a design that would incorporate the glass block with the whole shower area by putting in an entire tiled wall with a band around the whole room. We used light colored tile and paint choices with the contrasting band and champagne bronze fixtures. The result is a warm and inviting, yet bright and airy bathroom suite.

The master bathroom features a Japanese soaking tub.

For those that are above-average in height, standard bathroom fixtures can be difficult to truly enjoy. For this homeowner a soaking tub with a water depth that would be near his shoulders was top priority. The solution was a square Japanese-style soaking tub with a built-in seat. The stepped details add function and also cascading interest to the space, with steps to enter the tub and a shower bench seat. This large master bathroom is also outfitted with loads of cabinetry for both him and her. However, the best feature of this room is the traditional detailing brought in by the tile pattern. The neutral, travertine-look tile is elevated to new heights by varying the sizing and installation and adding in delicate metallic accents.
