CD House, realizzato da Michele Casanova titolare dello studio Gmc, è un progetto di ristrutturazione di un appartamento di 60 mq costruito nella metà degli anni ’60 nel centro di Cagliari. Lo scopo principale dell’intervento è stato quello di ottimizzare il più possibile la piccola metratura per creare un ambiente confortevole per il suo proprietario. Per raggiungere l'obiettivo tutte le mura interne sono state demolite e ricostruite secondo il nuovo schema planimetrico che prevede un unico ambiente soggiorno-pranzo, una cucina collegata ad esso con una grande apertura, una camera da letto dotata di cabina armadio, un disimpegno che conduce al bagno. Particolarità della casa è il letto ad una piazza e mezzo ricavato nel soppalco sopra il disimpegno cui si accede con una scala incassata nelle pannellature in legno e che conferisce a tutto l’ambiente un mood giovane e divertente. Le dimensioni ridotte degli spazi sono state occasione di una forte collaborazione tra architetto e falegnameria: un progetto dallo spirito sartoriale interamente su misura nel quale la parete attrezzata del soggiorno funge anche da parete divisoria con la zona notte e la parete in cui si innesta la scala che porta al letto soppalcato ingloba l’ingresso al disimpegno e al bagno. Infine, l’appoggio del tavolo sul mobile contenitore fa sì che esso possa essere spostato a seconda della esigenze. La luce naturale proveniente dalle aperture sul quartiere di San Benedetto viene amplificata dalla scelta dei materiali e dei colori. Le pareti di un grigio tenue lievemente scaldato da componenti terra donano profondità agli arredi bianchi e il pavimento in parquet di bambù riscalda l’insieme. Nel bagno, la luce naturale si riflette sui rivestimenti in mosaico bianchi e neri.

When Irvine designer, Richard Bustos’ client decided to remodel his Orange County 4,900 square foot home into a contemporary space, he immediately thought of Cantoni. His main concern though was based on the assumption that our luxurious modern furnishings came with an equally luxurious price tag. It was only after a visit to our Irvine store, where the client and Richard connected that the client realized our extensive collection of furniture and accessories was well within his reach.

“Richard was very thorough and straight forward as far as pricing,” says the client. "I became very intrigued that he was able to offer high quality products that I was looking for within my budget.” The next phases of the project involved looking over floor plans and discussing the client’s vision as far as design. The goal was to create a comfortable, yet stylish and modern layout for the client, his wife, and their three kids. In addition to creating a cozy and contemporary space, the client wanted his home to exude a tranquil atmosphere. Drawing most of his inspiration from Houzz, (the leading online platform for home remodeling and design) the client incorporated a Zen-like ambiance through the distressed greyish brown flooring, organic bamboo wall art, and with Richard’s help, earthy wall coverings, found in both the master bedroom and bathroom. Over the span of approximately two years, Richard helped his client accomplish his vision by selecting pieces of modern furniture that possessed the right colors, earthy tones, and textures so as to complement the home’s pre-existing features. The first room the duo tackled was the great room, and later continued furnishing the kitchen and master bedroom. Living up to its billing, the great room not only opened up to a breathtaking view of the Newport coast, it also was one great space. Richard decided that the best option to maximize the space would be to break the room into two separate yet distinct areas for living and dining. While exploring our online collections, the client discovered the Jasper Shag rug in a bold and vibrant green. The grassy green rug paired with the sleek Italian made Montecarlo glass dining table added just the right amount of color and texture to compliment the natural beauty of the bamboo sculpture. The client happily adds, “I’m always receiving complements on the green rug!” Once the duo had completed the dining area, they worked on furnishing the living area, and later added pieces like the classic Renoir bed to the master bedroom and Crescent Console to the kitchen, which adds both balance and sophistication. The living room, also known as the family room was the central area where Richard’s client and his family would spend quality time. As a fellow family man, Richard understood that that meant creating an inviting space with comfortable and durable pieces of furniture that still possessed a modern flare. The client loved the look and design of the Mercer sectional. With Cantoni’s ability to customize furniture, Richard was able to special order the sectional in a fabric that was both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Selecting the color scheme for the living room was also greatly influenced by the client’s pre-existing artwork as well as unique distressed floors. Richard recommended adding dark pieces of furniture as seen in the Mercer sectional along with the Viera area rug. He explains, “The darker colors and contrast of the rug’s material worked really well with the distressed wood floor.” Furthermore, the comfortable American Leather Recliner, which was customized in red leather not only maximized the space, but also tied in the client’s picturesque artwork beautifully. The client adds gratefully, “Richard was extremely helpful with color; He was great at seeing if I was taking it too far or not enough.” It is apparent that Richard and his client made a great team. With the client’s passion for great design and Richard’s design expertise, together they transformed the home into a modern sanctuary. Working with this particular client was a very rewarding experience for Richard. He adds, “My client and his family were so easy and fun to work with. Their enthusiasm, focus, and involvement are what helped me bring their ideas to life. I think we created a unique environment that their entire family can enjoy for many years to come.” https://www.cantoni.com/project/a-contemporary-sanctuary

This gallery room design elegantly combines cool color tones with a sleek modern look. The wavy area rug anchors the room with subtle visual textures reminiscent of water. The art in the space makes the room feel much like a museum, while the furniture and accessories will bring in warmth into the room.
