Two brothers is the project of an apartment and a reflection on the way of living, on the sense of "home". Is the house a place or an experience? Is it an empty space to fill or a container that molds and shapes itself on non-deformable elements?

Today, the movement and acceleration due to a hectic work life push us to change often home and live in increasingly reduced spaces, accumulating objects of affective nature as assets to be protected.

Two brothers is the result of a movement, from a house of 150 square meters to a 56 square meter apartment, and the need to preserve furniture, objects and affections, constipated in a 20 square meter garage. Two brothers is a project that pivots on adaptation and juxtaposition of new objects with those collected over the years, is the story of two orders of things that despite the aesthetic and linguistic differences are together, combined in a sequence of environments, furnishings in Sicilian style at the end of the nineteenth century they are confronted with a contemporary interpretation of a council flat of the 60s.

The structural and architectural nature is closely linked to the position of the furnishings. The result is the definition of a hybrid, of an equivocal object that summarizes a possibility of living in the home.
