Mezzanine Apartment - Siracusa

This small apartment is a result of the merging of two rooms with high ceiling, that allowed to create two new bedrooms in the new mezzanine.

A rectangular mezzanine was simply too small in depth for a queen size bed, so we decided to use a triangular and a quarter of circle shapes in order to gain some more depth for the beds.

A spiral staircase minimises the footprint of occupation in the living area downstairs.

The new mezzanine was treated as a ‘inner’ facade, allowing for freedom on the design of railings, patterns and shapes.

The handrails of the mezzanine are tributes-replicas of the waterfront’s handrails of Ortigia, quoting a piece of the city inside an interior.
