The 55m² living room with a semi-open kitchen is bathed in natural light and offers panoramic views through windows on three sides, with a night-time view of city lights.

This loggia is separated from the studio by glass doors, which is used as a guest room and laundry room. The studio has a counter with a double porcelain sink and wooden countertop.
