Every available centimeter must be analyzed, evaluated, and transformed into a design asset through a process that combines <strong>interior architecture, custom design, and furniture engineering.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>The micro-duplex built in Bergeggi perfectly exemplifies this approach. Spanning just 40 square meters across two levels, the project required constant oversight of every phase: site survey, modeling, detailed design, fabrication, and installation.<br \/>\nThe goal was not simply to furnish a space, but <strong>to build an integrated system capable of transforming the<\/strong> home\u2019s <strong>geometric constraints<\/strong> into design opportunities. <\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 30px;\"><\/div>\n<h2>Interior Architecture: Designing Based on the Geometry of Space<\/h2>\n<div style=\"height: 30px;\"><\/div>\n<p>The <strong>trapezoidal floor plan of the home<\/strong> became the starting point for the entire interior design project.<br \/>\nInstead of correcting the irregularities, the design transformed them into the compositional language of the project, creating a dialogue between architecture and furnishings through perfectly integrated volumes, cuts, and geometries. The color scheme also draws inspiration from the house itself: the <strong>existing hexagonal cement tiles define the palette<\/strong> of powder blue and ochre yellow, colors that are echoed in the custom-made furniture, creating continuity between the two levels. <\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 30px;\"><\/div>\n<h2>Custom Kitchen Design<\/h2>\n<div style=\"height: 30px;\"><\/div>\n<p>One of the most complex aspects involves the kitchen, which is situated beneath an existing metal staircase.<br \/>\nThe extremely tight tolerances required a true engineering effort in the design of the cabinetry, with <strong>panels trimmed directly on-site<\/strong> to ensure a perfect fit with the structure. The under-stair cabinet faithfully follows the staircase\u2019s geometry, transforming a structural constraint into a distinctive element of the design. Carrara marble, used for the countertop, backsplash, shelves, and sink, ensures material continuity, helping to establish a cohesive aesthetic throughout all the rooms.  <\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 30px;\"><\/div>\n<h2>Interior Design and Space Optimization: Modular Cabinetry<\/h2>\n<div style=\"height: 30px;\"><\/div>\n<p>The upper floor is the heart of the design.<br \/>\nThe goal was to create two bedrooms within an extremely small space characterized by <strong>out-of-square walls.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To solve this problem, a movable modular wall system was designed that can perform three functions simultaneously: closet, room divider, and space-transforming element.<br \/>\n<strong>The<\/strong> entire <strong>system rotates up to 270\u00b0<\/strong>, completely changing the layout of the rooms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border: none; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 40px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; padding: 10px; border: none; text-align: center;\"><div style=\"width: 480px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-282187-1\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/sagliettigroup.etinet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_2132-1.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sagliettigroup.etinet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_2132-1.mp4\">https:\/\/sagliettigroup.etinet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_2132-1.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; padding: 10px; border: none; text-align: center;\"><div style=\"width: 480px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-282187-2\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/sagliettigroup.etinet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_2125.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sagliettigroup.etinet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_2125.mp4\">https:\/\/sagliettigroup.etinet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_2125.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before construction began, each movement was verified using a<strong> 1:1 scale drawing<\/strong>, which was used directly on-site to check the dimensions and ensure the element rotated perfectly. This type of verification is one of the most significant aspects of design engineering, as it allows for <strong>the anticipation of potential issues and the optimization of the installation phase.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 30px;\"><\/div>\n<h2>From Design to Construction: When Engineering Translates into Construction Quality<\/h2>\n<div style=\"height: 30px;\"><\/div>\n<p>Every solution we adopt stems from <strong>ongoing collaboration between designers, the engineering department, and the woodworking shop.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe engineering of furnishings is not limited to production but represents a working method that accompanies the entire design process: precise site surveys, detailed modeling, dimensional checks, prototyping, on-site supervision, and installation. It is precisely this integration between design and execution that allows us to achieve results in which every detail has a technical as well as an aesthetic rationale. <\/p>\n<p>The micro-duplex in Bergeggi demonstrates that the quality of a design does not depend on the available floor space, but on <strong>the ability to turn every constraint into an opportunity<\/strong>. Through custom design, engineered furnishings, and rigorous on-site supervision, even forty square meters can become a model of interior architecture that successfully combines functionality, precision, and identity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Designing small spaces requires much more than simply choosing materials and finishes.
