Rovereto, where the sun sets on the terrace and history plays every night
When I designed the renovation of this penthouse in the heart of Rovereto, I wanted it to be not just a home, but a true living experience, rooted in light, history and the city´s unique landscape. Rovereto, with its refined Venetian heritage, has always been a crossroads of open-minded thinking, culture and understated beauty: hence the idea to create a living space that fully reflected its spirit.
Situated along the city´s main, elegant, tree-lined avenue, the apartment is located in a stately building, halfway along the avenue that symbolically connects the historic center with its more modern part, and has all the features one looks for in a penthouse: wide views, maximum privacy, and a light that flows through the spaces with naturalness and warmth.
One of the most significant architectural elements is the large balcony that runs through the apartment on three sides - from east to west via the south - like a continuous ribbon. This balcony widens at the southwest side, turning into a large rooftop terrace that is the vital center of the house. From here, the gaze can embrace the entire mountain arc that surrounds the city, even to the point of being lost in the contours of the Trentino Dolomites. And it is precisely from this terrace that, on the quietest days, one can distinctly hear the deep and solemn sound of the Bell of the Fallen, a symbol of peace and memory, which resounds every evening from Miravalle Hill.
The living area is a large open space, traversed by sunlight from when it rises in the east until sunset in the west. Large windows connect interior and exterior fluidly, making light the real star. The kitchen is separated from the dining room by a double glass wall, which allows for games of transparency and openness, while maintaining the functionality of the rooms.
The sleeping area houses three double bedrooms and two bathrooms, all made with high-quality materials. Discreet built-in closets, set into the walls, provide ample storage space without interrupting visual harmony. The white surfaces and the natural wood floor give each room a feeling of brightness and warmth.
In the living area are located with sinuous forms an office , a storage room and the third bathroom, laundry preceded by a full-wall shoe rack.
All systems not only new, but innovative ensure a constant optimal temperature in both summer and winter given by the presence of an effective underfloor heating and cooling system that interpret a modern, functional and refined style. Complete the property a cellar and a convenient garage a real luxury in a city center. An apartment designed for those seeking beauty in every detail and the privilege of living in the center of Rovereto, suspended between sky, history and light.
