A Converted Stable in Italy—Modern Bath Included

March 20, 2013

One of the most innovative baths we’ve seen yet: a free-standing concrete and tile cube in a restored Italian stable; one end houses the sink, the other the shower.

The studio, located on a tiny street in Val Parma, Lasagnana, was converted for a young couple by Karin Matz Arkitekt with Frencesco Di Gregorio. The ground level of the former stable was left intact with existing windows, walls, and columns with the only addition of a modern, freestanding bath. For more information, see the inside of the stable below and visit Karin Matz Arkitekt.
