Wunderkammer in Piola in Elle Decor

Posted by Philip Kolevsohn

"Lively, surprising, full of personality: these three adjectives are the essence of Wunderkammer, a Milanese apartment in the Piola area where the magic is revealed in the details."
Elisa Zagaria, Elle Decor

"What makes the layout dynamic and interesting is the way in which the rooms, all different in size and finish, interact with each other, by virtue of "secret passages" which we had fun hiding in the fixed furniture elements set in the walls."

Atomaa Team

Posted by Umberto

ATOMAA would not exist without the valuable collaboration with professionals, colleagues and even friends, all of whom leave an important trace in the realisation of our vision. Every person who joins our team, is not only valued as a highly skilled and talented collaborator, but is valued as an individual; as someone who becomes part of the writing of our narrative.

Rethinking Carlo Scarpa “Matrice”

Posted by Umberto

For the design of a prestigious apartment in Milan, the tiles of a new stone floor were designed and handmade by Venetian craftsmen. The challenge for these artisans was to create a floor tile which expressed the unique disorder found on site during demolition. Inserts of Thassos marble, irregularly positioned according to a rule, within a bed of white cement and Carrara marble chips, aims to recreate the image of the wooden laths which served as substructure for the original parquet floor.

Materiality matters

Posted by Umberto

In a world overwhelmed with digital development, we often find ourselves detached from the tactile experience, with only visual stimulation left to fulfil our aesthetic desires. At ATOMAA, we value the relationship between people and the materials which surround us. We believe that, with the careful selection of materials and with a hands-on approach during the production process, we can bring people back to the tactile world.
Working with local artisans, we aim to bring praise to handcraft as a means of creating the narrative for each material we use.

Our material choices greatly depend on the project in question and remain sensitive and contextual while playing an integral role in defining the spaces we create. This focus on materiality has become a fundamental area of focus for us at ATOMAA and is one which allows us to bring people and architecture together.

Palazzo Tornielli Office in Elle Decor

Posted by Cesare

"Baroque stuccos and designer chairs, sowing floors and metal handrails: Asabesi and Atomaa rewrite the rules of the Italian design office."
Rita Salerno, Elle Decor

"The project builds, through the design of all the oak furnishings, a series of (cor) correspondences between all the elements (mezzanines, stairs, bookcases, containers) going mainly to work on the perimeters, according to a principle of mutual necessity. "
Asabesi, ATOMAA

Roof completed in the Alps

Posted by Cesare

The timber structure of the roof is complete and clad with local stone. The roof is composed of locally sourced traditional materials and building techniques. The stone tiled roof is very common in Val d‘Ossola and forms part of the vernacular architecture of the region. We believe that building and innovating should go hand-in-hand with tradition, and it is only then that the architecture seems to sit naturally in its context.

Brick Facade completed in rural Tuscany

Posted by Cesare

Work in progress in the countryside near Pistoia. The brick facade, paying homage to rural buildings in the area, is now complete. The facade is a tool to control privacy, ventilation, natural light and obtain open views to the landscape, without unnecessarily reinventing a ‘tried and tested’ solution. The decision was to make use of vernacular materials, building techniques and technologies of buildings present in the area.

ATOMAA called to speak about Micro Living as new contemporary typology

Posted by andreaweb

The new real estate season starts from residential, supported by the diversification and specialization of housing demand as an expression of needs and styles of new vines but, above all, of a new way of considering the house, which for new generations goes from good to service . In this scenario, the micro living sector represents a rapidly growing sector and is destined to become one of the most popular asset classes in the alternative residential sector, as shown by the growth trends in the demand for small furnished apartments in large cities. An orientation destined to transform the housing stock also in our country and that shows in the investor radar the rented residential.

House in constant transition

Taaac!

"The Micro Living operates on the internal distribution and on the fixed and containing furnishing elements. The fixed furniture is integrated with the functional areas of the house, and is the main tool for a synthesis of the domestic space, in an organic vision that puts the user 's need for use, and expectations, comfort and atmosphere into a system."  Cesare Galligani Organized by CDV Conference Management Link

Milan. A contemporary and exotic 20th century apartment

Posted by andreaweb

“L'intervento, progettato per un giovane professionista, ridisegna il layout originale dell'appartamento - che consisteva in tre camere da letto, un piccolo soggiorno e uno studio - e dà origine a una chiara divisione tra zona giorno e zona notte. Le nuove camere - camera da letto, ampio soggiorno e studio / camera degli ospiti - si aprono agli stili di vita attuali. Inoltre, grazie a un disimpegno attrezzato, la camera da letto assume una dimensione privata, arricchita dal bagno en suite. Il recupero e il restauro di materiali originali - i pavimenti in parquet della zona giorno - sono accompagnati da una ricerca di segni e finiture contemporanee, in linea con il carattere originale dell'edificio.”
