The project stems from a twofold tension: the idea that the multifarious senses are instruments of knowledge, coupled with the desire to subtract, reduce and take the experience of living to a dimension that is clearer, leaner and almost radical.
The architecture and decorations of Palazzo Bovara are expunged, and the design develops as an interchange rather than a sequence of rooms, a catalog of experiences, unhurried and without compromise. Each space is a statement: the food is food, the water is water, the books are books, the art is art. Nothing is mediated, nothing is “decorated” so as to be more acceptable. Everything is exactly what it is meant to be.
