Sleek Italian Apartment in Lucca

Designed by Studiovo, this sleek, contemporary apartment makes ample use of line and form for a look that is both striking and unusual. Sharply angled ceilings, strong accent walls with key-thread characteristics and a bold black and white palette all fill the dramatic residence with a dynamic presence. Built in the historical center of Lucca, the home also features three terraces, one of which is 80 sq meters and enjoys stunning views of the city beyond.
