San Lorenzo Della Costa, Apt I — Italy

Perched above Santa Margherita Ligure, San Lorenzo is a beautiful historic village overlooking the Ligurian landscape. This project involved the renovation of an old palazzo into six apartments, with the aim of presenting their potential to prospective buyers.

I developed a series of interior visualisations for the real estate agency, showing how the apartments could be furnished and experienced once completed. Rather than creating generic, highly polished interiors, the intention was to give each space a strong sense of place.
The design concept brings the character of the village indoors through local materials, references and pieces from local artisans, creating interiors that feel connected to their surroundings rather than interchangeable. The goal was to avoid the feeling of a purely commercial, “one-size-fits-all” interior and instead create spaces with character, warmth and soul.
Since these apartments were primarily envisioned as summer homes, I wanted to capture the lightness, freshness and relaxed atmosphere of a Mediterranean summer, while maintaining the comfort and practicality required for year-round living.
The result is a visualisation of homes that feel rooted in their landscape, where light, materiality and local identity come together to create a sense of belonging.
