True, this is not a French Loft but a stunning loft conversion in Italy. Converted warehouses are a dime a dozen these days, but how’s this for a fascinating case of repurposing? Lissoni Associati have taken an old private theatre and transformed it into a home. The result is truly fabulous!

The alterations are strictly minimal, allowing the original bones of the theatre to sing with it’s own clear voice. Long slender lines and crisp shadow lines are assembled such that fixings and functions are relentlessly concealed. These new additions travel gracefully though the ornamental arches of the existing structure. Both new and old are united by a monochromatic palette. Rather than driving out the detail of the ornament, the whiteness draws attention to the intricacies of the mouldings. The only exception to the strict linearity of the additions, is the waterfall crystal chandelier which cascades dramatically down the volume of the space.
