The Entryway by T.ZED Architects

For L’Appartamento, T.ZED Architects wanted to set the tone for what is yet to come. The studio imagined an ideal entrance to a personalized home that pays attention to lighting, detail, and textures. T.ZED invites the visitor to look through a moment in time of a private space that tells a particular story of ‘temporality and exploration’.

For T.ZED it was extremely important to retain the character of the room while trying to add to it. While designing the entryway the studio was conscious of the historical significance of this building and space, and wanted to remind visitors of this through the use of mirrors, such as the Sybilla Mirror with Console by Ettore Sottsass for Glas Italia and the Itaca Floor Mirror by Atlas Project. This also helps in visually enlarging the room and multiplying the amount of light it receives. The intention behind the design is to showcase ‘moments’, ‘elevations’ and ‘corners’ that can either be experienced in isolation or as part of the entire room that is unified via large rugs while showcasing the original wooden floors.
