Rationalist elegance in modern living

Posted on Mon, 16 Dec 2024 by midcenturyjo

This private house by Cristina Celestino is a 550-square-meter apartment in a 1930s rationalist building in Rome’s Parioli neighbourhood. The design draws from the building’s heritage, city exposure and the client’s desire for a harmonious work-life space, inspired by the concept of “hygge.” Emphasizing natural light and perspectives, the project integrates greenery as part of the design, blending interior and exterior elements. Refined geometries, organic lines and subtle luxury details define the space, creating a flexible, elegant environment. Materials and colours follow rationalist principles (inspired by the scale, structure and symmetry of ancient Roman architecture but without the ornamental flourishes associated with classicism), reimagining the apartment’s timeless yet contemporary aesthetic.

Gent-based JUMA Architects extended an existing farmstead with a striking black volume, creating a harmonious blend of old and new. Positioned as a buffer between the driveway and garden, the new addition adopts the farmstead’s design language with a simple rectangular layout and modest gable roof. Inside, a spacious living area benefits from large windows, a black ceiling and a soft terracotta-toned polished concrete floor. A trapezoid fireplace connects spaces, while the farmhouse retains its charm with wooden beams, plank floors and Belgian bluestone tiles.
