Milan City Life: Prestigious Seventh-Floor Flat
Set in the elegant surroundings of Citylife, between Piazza Sei Febbraio and the new Tre Torri park, the property occupies the entire seventh floor of a building dating from the early 1950s — one of the most cultured periods in the history of residential architecture in Milan — which has recently undergone a major refurbishment of its façades. The full-time concierge service and twin lifts ensure the building meets the expectations of a discerning clientele.
The flat, the only one on this floor, has three entrances, each creating its own parallel and independent living space. The main entrance, controlled by a digital lock and served directly by the master lift, leads into a spacious hallway that orchestrates the flow between the functional areas. A second entrance opens onto the communal landing; a third, accessed via the service lift, leads directly to the kitchen area and utility rooms. The living area is organised as a single, impressive space: a double-height lounge opening onto the east-facing balcony, a kitchen-diner in glossy white lacquer, and a dining room complemented by a floor-to-ceiling bookcase that forms the backdrop to the living area. The sleeping area is organised around the master suite with en-suite bathroom, two further bedrooms and a guest bathroom.
A fourth room, currently used as a private professional practice with restricted access, can easily be converted into an additional bedroom or a secondary reception room.The upper floor and the unobstructed view provide a level of light rarely found in the urban fabric of Milan; the east-facing balcony acts as a threshold between the domestic interior and the city skyline. The designer furnishings complement a carefully curated selection of materials — long-laid oak parquet in the living area, Italian herringbone parquet with a border and strip in the sleeping area, and lacquered and enamelled finishes — creating an atmosphere that is both warm and contemporary.
The younger residents’ spaces are characterised by bespoke, artist-designed murals, created on panelling with built-in cupboards.The property meets a specific need that is rarely found on the Milanese market: combining the prestige of a stately home with the possibility of a fully-fledged workspace, accessible in a discreet and private manner, without compromising domestic life. It is a home designed for the professional who hosts guests, for the family needing distinct spaces, and for those seeking a home in Citylife with an unobstructed view of the skyline from the very same window.
