Encased in glass and flooded with light, furnished by forward-thinking designers and contemporary Milanese artisans, it looks every bit the live-in design showroom...
“The property is a brilliant mix of heritage and innovation. Artfully designed by architects Luciano Maria Colombo, Paola Benelli and Roberto Murgia, the chic boutique hotel flawlessly blends the old factory walls with contemporary elements in polished steel, aluminum and glass.”
