la réserve firenze
The latest project by Gilles & Boissier — La Réserve Firenze: a discreet palazzo on Via Santo Spirito, thoughtfully reimagined. Coming soon…
firenze, italy
Following on from Villa Sorgente, Gilles&Boissier has taken on a simple palace along the Arno, just a stone’s throw from the heart of Florence. The architectural vision: to bring in more light, clarify the original spaces, and preserve the place’s understated charm. The apartments are designed to be luxurious yet personal and lived-in: a soothing material palette, a subtly wabi-sabi atmosphere, and a meticulously curated selection of art. The project is a living entity, destined to evolve with its inhabitants, blending naturally into its surroundings.

«Our architectural approach was one of restraint, almost of silence. We opted for a deliberately understated design, while bringing as much light as possible into this long-dormant building on Via Santo Spirito, whose top floor overlooks the Arno and the city.»
