Roman Retreat

Revitalizing Spaces: A Roman Retreat for First-Time BuyersA Journey Begins in RomeIn 2021, in the heart of the eternal city, Rome, Italy, we embarked on a captivating project tailored for a first-time buyer couple. Their vision was clear: a cozy haven with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. However, this journey was not without its challenges. The cement structure of the building presented significant constraints, making traditional drainage solutions unfeasible. In response, we crafted an innovative solution: a unified plumbing block, thoughtfully elevated to bypass the need for extensive excavation.Innovative Design for Practical LivingOur design for this project is a testament to creativity and practicality. By centralizing all plumbing on one side of the house and slightly raising it from the ground, we overcame the drainage challenge and optimized space utilization. This innovation not only simplified the construction process but also enhanced the functionality of the entire living space.Key Design Features:Unified Plumbing Block: Elevated to circumvent traditional drainage issues.Optimized Space Utilization: Ensuring every square meter serves a purpose.Enhanced Functionality: Centralized systems for ease of maintenance and use.Sourcing Excellence: Quality and EfficiencyUnderstanding that impeccable design demands exceptional materials, we partnered with a renowned Italian company responsible for building the residence.
