homework
I design interiors that respond to the people who inhabit them.
Each project is a search for balance between function
and emotion, precision and atmosphere.
Drawing from my experience in hospitality,
retail and residential design,
I study how people interact
with space, translating their movements
and habits
into environments that feel coherent, comfortable and alive.

The kitchen was designed as the visual and functional core of the apartment; a space where geometry, color and material coexist in harmony.
The concept plays with contrasts: dark matte surfaces meet the brightness of marble, while a red ceramic backsplash introduces warmth and energy.
Every element was designed to emphasize precision, proportion and light, creating a contemporary environment that feels both refined and inviting.
The composition is defined by a central marble island that serves as a sculptural anchor within the open layout.
Custom cabinetry in black matte finish conceals appliances and maintains visual continuity with the living area.
The backsplash, made of glossy red tiles, acts as a focal point, enhancing depth and contrast while recalling the warmth of traditional Italian interiors in a contemporary language.
The oak herringbone flooring ties the space to the rest of the apartment, balancing tactile warmth and geometric rhythm.
