This 1,830 square foot contemporary apartment was designed by Brain Factory in 2013. The Monolithic House is a contemporary apartment located in Castrovillari, in the southern Italy, so defined because the creative concept behind the project plays with the volumetric subtractions of a monolithic block. In addition to stone, predominant natural material is the wood that warms the environment from the entrance, place where it is immediately enveloped in a surreal atmosphere: a rain of Swarovski crystals adorned the walls, dotted of sparkles. Constructive tension element of interior design around which takes place the open space is the monolithic block, ie the stone wall’s partition between kitchen and living room, characterized by a window which performs the dual function of table or support plane.
