Casa Maloja is a cozy attic apartment designed by designer Enrico Bellotti in a wooden hut. The beautiful chalet is located in the ski resort of Bormio, which is close to the Swiss-Italian border. The lightness of the light coming from the roof windows softens the structure of the wooden cladding. The architect Enrico Bellotti worked on the renovation of a mansard roof, which resulted in a discreet but modern and cozy attic apartment.
Cozy attic apartment made of natural wood
The interior is entirely clad in wood, while the ambience offers an excellent combination of warm pastel colors and comfort. The attic apartment also has a modern fireplace andminimalist kitchenwith enough space for culinary creations. The fireplace is located near a sofa, which makes the home environment cozy and warm. The entire attic has wood paneling that can be enjoyed by residents in all its uses. This extends from floor to ceiling, including home accessories.
The entrance consists of a small hallway with a roof and wooden walls. The living area is organized in a large open space where there is a kitchen, living room and dining room. Wood dominates here too.
The same essence was used for the floor, ceiling, walls and some furniture. Thanks to the large area and the quality of the natural materials, the cozy attic apartment radiates an inviting warmth from the inside. The modern glass fireplace also completes the cozy atmosphere of the attic.
The architect also did not integrate any unnecessary elements such as fabrics or elaborate lighting into the interior design so that the rustic charm of the mountain hut can be retained. In the open space, the designer carefully designed both natural light and artificial light. The impressive antler chandelier, which consists of deer horns, or rather a crown of antlers, also contributes to this.
To improve the supply of daylight, two skylights were added to the gable roof. However, for nighttime hours, a series of artificial lights have been used, glowing from both the ceiling and the floor. In contrast to the decentralized living area, the kitchen is placed almost in a niche. To create a little contrast, one of the walls is white with black details additionally added.
The right color coordination
The dominance of wood in the attic so conveniently breaks the abundant black color. The living space also conveys a touch of modernity and real functionality. On the other hand, passionately contrasting color nuances appear, which in the form of cushions illuminate the gray sofa with generous proportions.
On the contrary, an interesting golden lamp represents elegance in the dining room, while a cute cupboard in the bedroom is reminiscent of old times. You reach the bedroom through a narrow corridor, which also reflects the general style of the house. Inside we actually find the alternation between the wood and the white of some of the walls.
Cozy Nordic style apartment
The stylishly furnished interior creates a real holiday atmosphere in the mountains with soft colors and comfortable upholstered furniture. As you can already tell, the style is primarily reminiscent of a hunting lodge. In this regard, you can feel the theme of the design in the dining room, where an original painting of a moose hangs on the wall. The Nordic tone is also given by woolen blankets, carpets with geometric patterns and a very impressive picture in the hallway.
In addition to the attractive Nordic style, this cozy attic apartment impresses above all with its open spaces and airiness. The living room, kitchen and dining room have no unnecessary barriers, pleasantly increasing the space. In addition, the mansard has a minimalist spirit, so it does not feel like a flood of furnishings. As you can see, Nordic-style living can also create a warm impression, especially when wood and soft fabrics alone cannot achieve it.
