StudioTamat's RA House: Glass Floors and Mirror Ceilings Transform Small Rome Residence

Amy Frearson
Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Rome-based StudioTamat transformed an 80-square-meter house in Rome's Trastevere district using color, transparency, and reflection to create a sense of spaciousness. The design features glass floors, mirror ceilings, and a chestnut wood staircase that doubles as functional furniture. The project, called RA House, serves as an urban base for a couple who divide their time between multiple addresses, located in the courtyard of a late-19th-century building.
