It is an exclusive residence, steeped in history and charm and the subject of detailed restoration work, fully respecting the directives imposed by the General Management of Antiquities and Fine Arts. Built in the eighteenth century, it belonged, until the second half of the twentieth century, to the family of the Napoleonic officer Achille Rougier, whom it is named after. Today it represents one of the greatest examples of transitional architecture from Baroque to early Milanese neoclassicism.  The homes feature neutral tones and surfaces that produce its soft brightness. Equipped with good-size balconies or terraces, all the flats bring flexibility and the demands of contemporary living into rooms of old times.

Surrounded by greenery, this building features simple and identical geometrical structures. This building of contemporary beauty has gained added value from a meticulous work of restoration and conservation carried out on both the facade and on the common areas. It is also equipped with a porter’s lodge and convenient covered parking spaces. The building actively evokes the surrounding greenery thanks to the shared wide terraces that have been transformed into multi-coloured city gardens. It is an oasis of tranquillity not far away from the renowned Isola neighbourhood. Clear volumes, with functional and ready spaces, combine well with the idea of investment. This ideal theory is strengthened  by the energy saving guaranteed by class B certification. Airy and functional studio flats and comfortable two and three-roomed flats show a combination of forms and structures distributed from the first to top floor. The different types of living quarters are joined by the main light interiors that face pleasant balconies and terraces, framed by large flower boxes growing aromatic plants. The large window frames outline the entrance of the light that reflects in the glass and emphasises the outdoor space, highlighting the landscape. On the garden level, the glass doors, that are as high as the lofts, open onto the interior courtyard and offer an unbroken extension to the surrounding greenery. The opportunity to be able to join the smallest measurements together enables one to create one’s own ideal size. These dynamic apartments are to be experienced, where daily life is punctuated by the harmonious transformation of nature and its fascinating scent. All the units are provided with a convenient central heating system and a channelled air conditioning system, with recorded consumption for every apartment, electric shutters and e video-entryphone. All these details fully reflect the three principles of bien vivre: relax, style and comfort.

The project translates into a whole renovation that focuses on the concept of comfort and enhances it by combining beauty and functionality.

A specific approach that primarily involves the shared areas, starting from the staircase leading to the ten residential units, going through the redesign of the conciergerie space, up to the luxuriant courtyard area which houses comfortable covered parking spaces. A huge plus in terms of value in such a central area.

The versatile area that is hidden behind the elegant decorations on the facade, the subject of a meticulous conservative restoration, is best enhanced by the high quality of the materials and the attention to detail.
A design philosophy that turns into a real new concept of living and extends to the restoration of the attic.
A place where comfort, in its highest form, is at home.
