Casa DB is an apartment of about 85 square metres in the Tuscolano district of Rome.

The apartment has a typical 1970s layout: an entrance hall, a long corridor and rooms. The property is also characterised by a rather imposing load-bearing system, with two columns positioned almost in the middle of the house and 40 cm high exposed beams.

The new division of the space was designed not to alter the original layout, but rather to adapt it to the client's needs: the total removal of the entrance and hallway partitions gives the house a lot of space, creating a living area that 'invades' the space and becomes the focal point of the apartment.

The system of beams and columns, left exposed, fits into this environment and, thanks to a specially designed lighting system, helps to create an intangible division between the actual living area and the passageways.

The use of the same type of flooring, in natural oak planks, contributes to the fluidity of the space. For the floor and walls of the cooking area, porcelain stoneware with a special decoration was chosen to contrast with the austerity of the white kitchen.

In the living room, the 'tone on tone' doors of the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom were chosen to create a homogeneous background and perspective of the room. The radiator is also in the same colour.

A small bathroom has been created in the former storeroom of the flat. It is designed as a guest bathroom but is also a practical second bathroom in the house. Due to the shape of the building, it was impossible to avoid opening directly into the living area. Therefore, it was decided to give it a strong aesthetic value with a "jungle" decoration and to create a little surprise effect.
