A 10,000-square-metre park sloping down to the Irish coast at Dundalk – between Belfast and Dublin – with a tennis court and a cabin on the beach. A villa in the Georgian style built in 1830, to which a new wing was added in the 1880s. And that which has its original cast-iron windowsills and sash windows.

Once upon a time there was an apartment on the top floor of a building from the 1930s in the Città Studi area of Milan, with a not very efficient layout made up of a sequence of rooms one inside the other, like a Russian doll. Its fate has been changed by a single freelance, with original ideas as sharp as the claws of the cat called Edoardo he lives with.

C’era una volta un appartamento all’ultimo piano di un edificio anni Trenta in zona Città Studi, a Milano, con una pianta poco efficiente composta da una sequenza di stanze una dentro l’altra, come una matrioska. A cambiarne le sorti è stato un professionista single, dalle idee originali e affilate come le unghie del gatto Edoardo con cui convive.
