Casa Baccina was designed by architect Massimo Adario, who opened his namesake studio in Rome in 2007; the apartment, located on the top floor of a characteristic building in the charming and dynamic Monti district, has been renovated with a bold and elegant style.
Many details are inspired by 1970s design, along with significant changes to the layout and a new organization of the spaces.

The new layout is based on the enhancement of the original spaces to provide more openness and greater brightness. The apartment is arranged vertically over three different levels, and the idea behind the new project is to integrate the rooftop terrace, once used to house water tanks, transforming it into a livable area accessed through a large glass door. Additionally, dark spaces have been revitalized by filling the apartment with light through the addition of five skylights on the roof.

The flow is centered around the staircase block that connects the different levels. The first floor includes the living room, library, dining room, and kitchen with a terrace. On the upper level, we find the mezzanine bedroom, and finally, with a spectacular glass elevator, you reach the third level, which houses a luxurious bathroom and a small terrace overlooking the Capitoline Hill and the Altar of the Fatherland.

The furnishings have a refined and precious style with vintage furniture selected from the 1940s to the 1970s, paired with a luxurious selection of precious materials. Throughout the apartment, a few different textures have been used, metals—particularly brass—gray Carnico marble, wood—including Macassar ebony—and finally leather and Alcantara.

The furniture is vintage, like a French lacquered wood sideboard with Chinese designs, but more often custom-made by skilled Italian artisans. The kitchen is stunning, occupying the entire length of the apartment’s perimeter with gray marble countertops; the same precious material is used for the wall coverings behind the stoves and the floor.

The staircase leading from the bedroom to the mezzanine is also striking, made with brass uprights and steps covered in leather. The bedroom itself is clad in leather, and the Macassar ebony bed has a headboard upholstered in leather.

The result is a precious jewel in the heart of Rome with a unique character and timeless charm.
