Palazzo Mazzini, The renovation project of Palazzo Mazzini in Montebelluna was driven by the intention to breathe new life into an existing building located in the city center, transforming it into an elegant and contemporary presence that engages with its urban surroundings. The studio carefully oversaw both interior and exterior design, shaping every detail within a unified project that creates a dialogue between private spaces and architectural image.

The treatment of common areas was one of the central aspects of the intervention, aiming to create bright and orderly environments that naturally and comfortably accompany daily life. Circulation spaces are generous, with light-toned surfaces reflecting natural light from the openings, generating luminous and quiet pathways that connect the different residential units with continuity and clarity. Staircases are conceived as places of interaction—not merely passages, but moments of pause within the building’s vertical journey. Railings and handrails feature essential, lightweight lines that allow light to filter through the space, reducing visual bulk and guiding the gaze upward in an orderly and luminous environment.

The choice of colors for the external architectural elements played a crucial role in defining the project’s image. Frames and shutters were made respectively in sand and powder blue, creating, in contrast with the light façades, an elegant and contemporary rhythm that marks the order of the openings. Railings and accessory elements were designed in the same tones, generating a visual balance that ties every detail together and brings lightness to the façades. This choice enhances the architectural details without weighing down the building’s appearance, preserving a sober character that integrates respectfully into the historic center.

Inside one of the apartments, the studio also curated the entire interior design, with custom furnishings and finishes that continue the architectural language of the building, reinforcing its identity. The design process extended to the creation of fixed furniture, the selection of surfaces, and the definition of service areas, balancing functionality, comfort, and aesthetic sobriety.

Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
