The restoration work was aimed at improving the general use of an apartment located in the historic center of Venice, on the second floor of a building. The high height of the living room and the need to build a bookcase were the pretexts for the creation of a "ladder" system to access books and the mezzanine, which was an isolated and impracticable area. Multiple points of view on the living room have been created through the staircase. The pre-existences have been enhanced through a philological restoration and the insertion of modern components.
