Historic Apartment with Terrace in Venice, Veneto

Details

The exposed wooden beams, light parquet flooring, and a decorative fireplace introduce an apartment that combines grand dimensions with details that impart character to the spaces. Light streams in through windows and a skylight, reflecting off the white walls and accompanying spaces that alternate between substance and transparency, such as the glass floor that adds depth and rhythm. The kitchen also follows this essential and concrete line, featuring matte white cabinetry, a dark granite countertop, a stainless steel sink, and a dining area centered around a table with a granite top. The numbers clearly convey the rarity of the property: 770 square meters of commercial space distributed on the second floor of a three-level building, with 12 rooms, 7 bedrooms, and 9 bathrooms. The construction dates back to the 1500s, a fact that immediately conveys the historical weight of the property and its relationship with the urban fabric of Venice. The interior spaces seem designed to offer autonomy, representation, and a fluid management of daily life or hospitality, with a broad distribution that allows for multiple interpretations of use, always in the spirit of a significant residence. The terrace adds a precious outdoor opening, with wooden flooring and a wooden railing, while the patio introduces a more intimate atmosphere with exposed brick, arches with iron grates, a stone sink, and decorative paving. These elements enrich the home without disrupting its coherence, instead creating a natural dialogue between interiors and exteriors. The presence of an elevator and access for people with disabilities completes a rare ensemble even in terms of usability. The terrace and patio change the rhythm of the day, offering two different ways to enjoy the outdoors within a spacious urban property. On one side, there is a space that opens onto the rooftops of the city context, while on the other, a more intimate environment, marked by iron, brick, and wood, invites a pause, a leisurely breakfast, or an informal dinner. Inside, the sequence of rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms makes the house suitable for an articulated domestic life, but also for a representative function or a high-level hospitality project, evaluated with measure and coherence in relation to its dimensions. An apartment of this scale, in a building from the 1500s and within the context of Venice, is a proposal that stands out for its consistency, identity, and potential uses. The combination of spaciousness, open spaces, material details, and contemporary comforts shapes a property that is difficult to replicate, designed for those seeking a significant presence in the city without sacrificing functionality.
