Discover the home and private refuge of architect Sabrina Salles

An architect has the power to transform spaces into homes, and the demands are even greater when this professional finds himself in the role of client. This is how architect Sabrina Salles transformed a 290 m² house into a true refuge for her and her family. To bring the project to life, the architect says she had to carry out a general renovation of the plan – including creating a floor to house the attic . This attic is extremely important to the project and is one of the favorite areas of both Sabrina and her family: it serves as a living space , with a TV room and home office area, and even a "café" for receiving guests.

For this space, the architect wanted to bring references from her travels , especially Tuscany: lots of stone, vegetation, wood and even a swimming pool make up the space, which values artistic elements and has become an area to celebrate good times with the family. The biophilia of the house was a point of attention for the architect, who believes that plants have the power to balance energies and bring well-being to environments. Full of historical elements that were preserved from the original architectural project, the architect opted for light tones to create a combination of retro and contemporary. To complete the mix, the architect also highlighted the works of art, which were scattered throughout the residence.
