Trastevere
In the authentic heart of Trastevere, just steps from Ponte Garibaldi, this project transformed two separate apartments into a single hospitality facility comprising six guest rooms, each with a private bathroom.
The intervention aimed to create a contemporary and welcoming environment, one that engages in dialogue with its historic context while meeting the functional requirements of an accommodation facility.
Studio Gorga’s design approach focused on natural tones, tactile materials, bespoke furnishings, and a calibrated use of light to strike a balance between formal simplicity and understated elegance. The result is an intimate, luminous space, carefully detailed, that captures the spirit of the neighborhood while offering visitors an authentic and comfortable experience.
A key element of the project was the enhancement of the communal areas: corridors and the living space were conceived not merely as passages, but as places capable of conveying an atmosphere, giving the property its identity, and offering moments of shared relaxation.
The corridors, defined by a warm orange paired with crisp white details, create an inviting, enveloping environment—designed to accompany rather than rush. Here, even movement becomes an experience: a chance to slow down, to observe, to feel at home. Light and geometry enrich the journey, making it an integral part of the space’s narrative.

Working with Edi, who captures light, colour, and architectural shapes with a curious eye and an intelligent objective, has helped me in various occasions, to read the achievements of my projects in a new way: unexpected. In short, with the help of Edi, I discovered the quality of my work that I did not expect. This has brought value to my being as an architect under two points of view. The first, more immediate, is the one tied to having, at my hand, marvellous portraits of my homes, divided into overviews and details. The second, more important and profound, there has been a concrete tie between my project and the photography, that since the beginning, has generated emotions and finally, even a friendship. Edi is my photographer and she is also my friend. Choosing a good photographer is important, and I suggest you do it following not only the strict objective of professionality, but also using your emotions and the sentimental affinity with the person that you have chosen.
