Freedhome system by Caccaro for Palazzo Alcenago

Located a stone's throw from the Arena of Verona, Palazzo Alcenago is a splendid example of 15th-century architecture. Thanks to the ingenious design of interior designer Valeria Piacenza of Selezione Arredamenti, the site has been transformed into a contemporary residence: a perfect fusion of historical and modern elements. The renovation preserved and restored unique features of the building, such as the original brick arches and 4.50 metre high ceilings with exposed beams, while respecting the authentic character of the spaces. The light wood flooring, used throughout the flat, creates unity between the rooms and offers a warm and cosy atmosphere. Fundamental to the project are the Caccaro modular systems, chosen by the Selezione Arredamenti team to redefine the spaces with elegance and functionality, without affecting the structures in an invasive way. Caccaro's Freedhome system, which is double-sided and self-supporting, is in fact able to delineate spaces without the need for masonry walls.

Originally a large single room used as a shop, the flat was redesigned to meet the needs of the client, who wanted to create two bedrooms, a study area and a large kitchen/living room without the use of walls due to structural constraints. Caccaro systems were chosen for their dual function: to offer maximum storage capacity and to organise rooms, clearly defining spaces without interrupting the visual flow. The made-to-measure height allowed the alignment with a structural element, which creates a change of texture and material on the wall, to visually maintain a clean lines. In the near future, to complete the project, it is planned to close the space between module and ceiling with glass panes.
