Renovation of a Milan Laboratory to a Family Loft / Tomoarchitects

For this renovation and conversion of an old laboratory to a residential use situated into a typical yard in the heart of Milan’s center, the brief was to bring back to life the original bare structure of the house and try to maintain it as visible as much as possible. The whole space, walls, and ceiling had been covered with an anonymous whiteboard for the past decades, so the challenge was an extreme work of restoration of the bricks and the wood ceiling which had badly deteriorated with time. Ground floor excavation and sonification work were added to this complex restoration.
