black contrasting elements that graphically emphasise the geometries.
The study and the smaller bedroom were designed to complement
the overall aesthetic of the house while allowing for flexibility in
their usage over time. These spaces were intended to accommodate
the needs of the growing family, including the arrival of a newborn.
They were designed to easily accommodate changes in furniture
arrangement and adapt to the evolving requirements of the family.

The narrative of Arches and Patterns, the name given to this house,
seamlessly unfolds as one moves from one space to another, guided
by interconnected design elements. On one hand, we find soft and
curved geometries, developed volumetrically in the openings and
graphically in the furnishings. On the other hand, the harmonious
interplay of colours and patterns defines distinct functions while
maintaining an underlying thread that accompanies the exploration
of each unique area.

With this new interior design project, PLUS ULTRA, which has
been conducting research on contemporary living in historical
contexts for years, from experiments at the Villa Imperiale in Pesaro
to interventions in the redevelopment of pathways at the Rocca di
Gradara, once again demonstrates its ability to develop thoughtful
reflections on architectural space.
