When Vincenzo De Cotiis was tasked with the design of this Italian private residence, one thing stood out from the demands list: privacy. Due to the close proximity to their neighbours, the owners felt this was a key feature for the home design. The Italian designer built a concrete abode of flamboyance, perfection, and multi-material incredible details that will completely catch your attention.

When asked to name the biggest influences on his work, Vincenzo De Cotiis, the Milan-based architect, designer, and artist, demurred, saying, “I consider myself omnivorous. I feed on many different stimuli spanning art, architecture, and imagery.”

Vincenzo De Cotiis defines this interior design project as a “contemporary design bunker adapted to accommodate the cultural life of an educated couple“, De Cotiis takes this “bunker” and imbues it with warmth, texture, and human scale.
