Lektion wird erstellt...
1
we were a couple looking for a house I got the telephone call from the bank
2
and they said the mortgage has been accepted so you can come
3
and sign and said okay and you watching me say you are pregnant
4
when we realized that this place was meant to be for three
5
and not two you have a lot of stuff a lot of things to to think about
6
as a designer it was a challenge a beautiful challenge we would like to have this kind of fluidity
7
and openness also for our baby to pass through the space
8
hi i'm milenia and i'm andrea we both are architects and we are living here with our son
9
our apartment is 41 square meters we are in the north side of milan in the martesana river area
10
it's green is open it's like living in the countryside we
11
always say it would be nice to live here it's not
12
so common to find a place like this near the center of the city We are really well connected.
13
We discovered a place which was small and dark and whatever, but when we arrived here, the first thing we said, no, it's incredible.
14
It's the openness, the park, and this feeling of nature instead of cars.
15
This is the entrance, a small place, but we try to keep as a proper entrance this is the existing wall
16
and it's one of the few things remains from the the old layout of the house all the Wi -Fi
17
and internet connection electricity stuff are here the kids here everything
18
throw in this drawer shoes here they are the ones we use in the season
19
and then we have a place in the in the room
20
where we hide the shoes for the rest of the year
21
and then of course all the the jacket
22
and little stuff we need to storage here inside furniture lighting is useful also during the night
23
if we are need something in the wardrobe without switch on
24
all the proper lighting you know the last thing you do before leaving you check out
25
and then you go there are two paper works of Toppi, which was an artist.
26
This is our guardian, we like to say that.
27
And the other one is the guardian of our son.
28
There is a little window on top of the door in every door in the building for the cross ventilation.
29
It was a strong light coming in at night.
30
We didn't want to close it, definitely no, so we hide.
31
the living room is just next to the entrance this furniture
32
is also used by a side table for the sofa we have
33
which it comes from my partner of the office Cesare
34
when he left to go to to Edinburgh we changed the color
35
and we're still using we can change the position of this element it's a perfect bed for one person
36
so sometimes happen that we have some guests
37
my mother his mother that taking care of the baby
38
so can stay here
39
but of course sharing the concept of the house it's an
40
open room we decided also to put a tree there the reason of the wheels
41
because of the light we need to turn a bit to
42
give him the possibility to grow in all direction we brought
43
some playfulness we painted in yellow the like a rising sun
44
from the east side of the house we put it these two shelves there to have books and polaroids and stuff
45
but also to hide the air conditioning which is something
46
that we use only in summer a couple of weeks or more
47
so it's it's like easy to use the panel of the same sorts as alpi wood it's nice
48
because we don't see this technical object inside this video is sponsored by bamboo lab what
49
if one stool could serve three parts of your home here's
50
how we made it happen with the bamboo lab a2l and make a world.
51
For the entrance, we printed this handy shoehorn that attaches directly to the stool leg.
52
We also repurposed a headphone holder into a clamp -on umbrella hook and, for a bit of fun, this cute key holder.
53
For the coffee table we found a remote holder for our Apple TV, an AirPods charger and even a baby stool for our stool.
54
At the bedside we used the A2L's larger print plate to make a custom lamp, along with a phone and watch charger to keep all our stuff organized.
55
Finally we swapped to the cutter head to make custom vinyl stickers to personalize the stool.
56
With tools like the Bamboo Lab A2L and Maker World, making thoughtful improvements around your home suddenly feels a lot more possible.
57
Curious what else you could make?
58
Check the link in the description.
59
Now everywhere toys or parties around and around and around which is good.
60
he really loves to play in this area
61
that are the most articulated with step and wine bottles
62
but we are trying to educate him what to do
63
and what not in a way also this mirror he really
64
likes to play with all the mirrors in the in the house
65
but of course for us also it's a a way to control him in some way
66
because from the kitchen I can't see this area.
67
I made this bookshelf when I was in a university for my room.
68
We painted in a different color that is a bit matching with the floor
69
and all the colors we have in this room.
70
All the elements can be moved to maintain also the stability of this bookshelf we have all the magazines
71
and some books of course our radio station that we switch on every morning
72
my notebooks i think is from the beginning of the university in general like in 2001
73
sketching is something daily really in our work life it's something playful we sketch with the with Aris.
74
We are stepping on an original floor.
75
You can see it in the entrance of the house, downstairs on the ground floor.
76
The date of the building is 58, 59 I think.
77
It's real marbles in these concrete tiles.
78
Very typical and very cheap at the time, but now it's not so cheap.
79
demolishing everything and redoing everything tabula rasa we avoid tabula rasa it loses the taste of the house
80
if there are some pieces
81
that are proper of the building of the house you cannot find in another house
82
and maybe with all the new furniture
83
and intervention you will realize how to make it good looking
84
for for you this is probably one of the most important thing that lead us to buy the apartment.
85
The balcony here, we stay here outside in the morning having a coffee or in the sunset.
86
It's very beautiful.
87
The relation with the waters, running waters, and the park is fantastic.
88
When the sun is getting very hot, on the three sides we have these shutters.
89
We can sit here, it's not so hot during summer.
90
A lot of people want the kitchen to be closed and hidden.
91
For us, no. The kitchen most of the time is messy and whatever, but it's not a matter for us.
92
It's good to have a lot of space to work and cook and put stuff.
93
We can do it in the natural light.
94
Being also with the people, if I'm here and Ilenia and Aris, they are playing there.
95
We are together, but we have a functional space.
96
The original kitchen was very tiny, like 1 ,20m, with a wall here and a wall here.
97
On the other window there was one 20cm bathroom, so there were two spaces divided.
98
We worked also on the depth of this wall in order to have more space for the cabinet.
99
the feeling of the stained steel
100
that you really can bring things without fear of ruining a beautiful marble
101
or something else we use it we use it
102
and we use it and
103
if there are scratches is part of the nature of the
104
of the material we played anyway with the with materials like
105
these marbles we cut from an old broken table inside we have you know all the stuff
106
that is needed for for a kitchen
107
It's like drawer and drawer and it's very useful instead of opening and going until the bottom to find the plate.
108
It's very easy to use and actually we discovered
109
that with the baby it's more difficult for him to open and smash everything, so it's fine.
110
At the beginning we used this sink like a bath for
111
Aris with a proper stool this part we use also for
112
as a storage with all the proper thing to change him
113
and this is like the place where we used to change him
114
so here we gained one module that we use
115
that in the beginning was the the the fridge
116
and we put the fridge in the side
117
that is also storage for you know all the cleaning stuff also or the blinds here are automatic.
118
We took away the original shutters that were in bad conditions.
119
When you have a baby in your arm and you cannot open the shutters in this way, yes, you just push a button.
120
Choosing and deciding things and as a designer for your own place, it's easier in a way.
121
But when both you are a designer, it makes more, you know, an internal fight sometimes, not to to to fight the right balance
122
but it was a kind of fluid process
123
because of course we are with the same purpose same thinking about natural light about how to maintain the floor
124
it's our first home together so it was really exciting we are still designing thing
125
and still arguing about how to develop the home stepping from
126
the kitchen to the the bedroom we had a wall
127
and it was very a pity because this is the west side
128
and we have a very beautiful light when the the sun set
129
and probably in those hours we are here working with the
130
kitchen we are here cooking playing again with the same material
131
as we did in the entrance of the bathroom we played with this two screens.
132
If we are here during the evening and our son sleeps there, because we sleep in the same room, we can close it, we can have the privacy and we can have this.
133
But of course, when you open, lights and mood change completely.
134
So you have openness, you have the feeling of the for windows entering the bedroom
135
we see the wardrobe this wardrobe is divided in three parts these are mine and andreas
136
and then there is this one for aris the sliding panels
137
becomes Sometimes a huge mirror is as useful as a mirror can be and also enlarge the space of the room.
138
This is the new size bed of Aris.
139
It's growing fast, more than expected.
140
It's cool because we can move it around
141
and probably one day we will pull him on the other room in order to have more privacy for him
142
and for us.
143
We are just fine now having this area to sleep together.
144
When we bring Aris to sleep, we just pass through and we say goodbye to the sun, which is setting, so it's time to go to sleep,
145
and we close up everything.
146
Here is the only upper storage above the head of the bed, so it's not annoying, this under -leveling.
147
There is the air conditioning.
148
We really love hiding it.
149
This is a kind of portrait of a family portrait because this eye is my eye.
150
This is me when I was pregnant and this is always before coming to the world.
151
We worked with this full height panels that actually hides doors.
152
So you enter a bathroom from this panel
153
that doesn't look like a door
154
because we want to emphasize the height of the ceilings and the lightness that it brings inside.
155
This panel is actual wood,
156
the structure, but the finishing is a pattern designed by Ettore Sozzas for Alpi wood.
157
And it is from the 70s.
158
The bathroom is quite small of course because we compress the space as much as possible, it's a proper laundry.
159
so you have here washer dryer and all the stuff
160
and the system for heating the water is a built -in
161
sink with a together with the with the shower we bought a concrete sink
162
and then we built around a little slab to sustain it
163
and then breaks and then waterproofing and then putting the the resin a drawer here
164
which you can imagine is full of things
165
that is needed in the bathroom the electricity system we tried with this horizontal mirror to emphasize and to enlarge
166
the the size of the of the bathroom in this final part we have the bidet and the
167
vc when we discovered
168
that we were waiting a baby we designed this shower as a bathtub it's you know it's not
169
that big but you can fill it up in the water until like 40 centimeters
170
so it's maybe for an adult not that much
171
but there's a proper bathtub for baby and this is the window
172
that allows the the steam going out
173
when we use the shower even in during the day this allows to bring natural light inside from west and from south.
174
Sometimes people say ah you now have a sun
175
so you will have to change the the place as soon as possible
176
and we are like no why I mean we are not in a rush.
177
The quality of space is the most important thing
178
so for now this is the best we did but then See you in the next two years,
179
maybe there will be another baby or another dog, I don't know.
180
So we need to find how to manage the space and feel comfortable for everybody there.
181
There is room for changing and optimizing the space again.
182
There is a family here with the same site's apartment
183
and they are in six so they are living there
184
so I think we can manage for a while being three
185
or four when I was still pregnant
186
and maybe sometimes during the night I woke up we saw the reflection on the water on the ceiling
187
and it was fantastic that's amazing yeah and
188
when you walk with a baby at three o 'clock in the morning you have this perception, you say, it's not that bad, spending night.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
