Mid-century furniture, original terrazzo floors, and a colorful palette revive the original character of Casa VDS.
Summary
- 02A studio renovated a 20th-century apartment in Rome’s Conca D’Oro, imbuing it with a 1960s aesthetic, featuring original terrazzo, retro wallpaper, and unique red polygonal doorways.
Roman interior design duo 02A studio has unveiled a completed renovation in the Conca D’Oro neighborhood of Rome, reintroducing the spirit of the 1960s into a 20th-century apartment unit.
Rooted in original terrazzo flooring throughout, the entry corridor features a retro geometric wallpaper and twin polygonal doorways finished in red paint and reeded glass portals. The eye-catching vestibule serves as an immersive entry threshold and the main artery of the residence, connecting different zones.

The main living space gains immense natural light from the undulating facade, which is highlighted by continuous curtain tracks and pinch-pleated curtains. Cereulean walls and warm wooden panelling create a calming foundation for brightly colored upholstery, expressive modernist pieces, and a hi-fi home sound system. From the dining area to the bedrooms, built-in joinery offers both functional storage and material balance to white walls and polished floors.
02A studio did not hold back on the bathrooms either, using colorful tiles, various terrazzos, and rounded shapes to give the two suites their distinct atmospheres. One bathroom is clad in delicately adorned cerulean tiles, bold red cabinets, orb-style sconces, and oblong, rounded mirrors. Its warmer counterpart boasts a red-orange subway tile, striped yellow curtains, and a dark shower enveloped in black tiles.
