Private home at Aldobrandeschi Castle, Piancastagnaio, Italy

Project: In the heart of Piancastagnaio, in the province of Siena, a private apartment located in a late-19th-century historic building overlooking the Aldobrandesca Fortress has undergone a refined restoration and interior design project by architect Alessandra Giglioni, a specialist in the restoration and enhancement of historic buildings.

The spaces, enriched with frescoed ceilings and walls dating back to the early 20th century, have been preserved and highlighted through a design that successfully combines respect for artistic heritage with modern living needs. The absence of doors and the fluid distribution of spaces make the living area a scenic continuum where the kitchen, dining room, and living room are visually and stylistically connected.

The kitchen, dominated by a large black marble island with cooktop, sink, and convivial counter, opens onto the dining room, which features an impressive table for 6–8 people and a striking fitted wall. Here, the seating interacts with the colors and materials of the adjacent living room, where a majestic midnight-blue velvet sofa takes center stage, together with the LED lighting system running along the perimeter of the ceiling, enhancing the frescoes without concealing them with bulky elements.

The bathroom, also clad with the same surfaces, continues the home’s stylistic harmony, blending elegance and functionality.

For the flooring throughout the apartment, Isoplam® Micro Velvet was chosen—a continuous cement-resin surface that brings brightness, visual softness, and a velvety effect with refined aesthetic impact. Applied in the Hazelnut shade, the coating integrates with the delicate hues of the frescoes and ensures uniformity and seamless continuity, transforming every room into part of a coherent and evocative whole.
