LIVING AREA This part of the open-plan living space is designed to make the most of the glorious views framed by dramatic floor-to-ceiling glazing.
HOME FRONT
THE DESIGNERS
Aldo Parisotto and Massimo Formenton - founders of architectural studio Parisotto+Formenton, which is based in Milan and Padua.
THE PROPERTY
An apartment on the top floor of a three-storey 1960s building in the ski resort of Cortina, Italy. The open-plan living area, which opens up to a balcony, is made up of a series of different 'social zones': for conversation, relaxation, watching TV and dining. These lead to the kitchen and utility. There is a double, a twin and a single bedroom, each with its own bathroom.
BALCONY Another prime spot to sit and enjoy the sweeping mountain vista.
The inimitable Italian architect Gio Ponti used to say: "To design a house you need a client; unfortunately, to build a house you need a client!' His dichotomy sums up the designer's dilemma, where a client can help or hinder a project. Luckily for Aldo Parisotto and Massimo Formenton, of Italian architectural studio Parisotto+Formenton, the client they found themselves working with on this project was a dream. 'He is a refined aesthete and this meant he gave us creative freedom within the boundaries of his expectations,' says Massimo.
KITCHEN The units are made from recycled oak doors and are paired with granite for a more contemporary chalet-chic look.
