Renovation of prestigious apartments and villas in Milan

The difference is not aesthetic: it is executive. A high-end renovation demands millimetre tolerances - not centimetre - on alignments, planes and finishes. It requires technical materials, not merely beautiful ones, and a site management approach that protects finishes at every stage. It also means concealed systems engineered before the walls go up, not retrofitted afterwards.

In practice: the same apartment, renovated to ordinary standards or to luxury standards, produces radically different results over the years. Quality is measured by how long it lasts and by how invisible the things that should not be seen remain.

It depends on the floor area, the condition of the property and the complexity of the systems: a 100 sqm apartment with a full intervention requires different timeframes from a penthouse with structural modifications and specialist installations. No figure is meaningful without context.

What we can offer is a schedule written into the contract, with binding dates and the responsibility to meet them: the estimate becomes a verifiable commitment. The preliminary feasibility study defines a realistic timeline before the site opens. In the last 12 months, none of our sites has recorded a delay against the agreed delivery date.

Quality concerns the process, not the square metres. We have worked on two-room apartments of 55 sqm with high-end finishes, as well as on penthouses of 400 sqm with complex systems. In both cases the executive standard is identical: same method, same contractual guarantees, same insurance coverage.

The criterion that guides project selection is not the floor area but the complexity and ambition of the intervention. A compact space can demand more precision than a large apartment with straightforward work.

The architect retains full artistic and design direction. Renewall receives the executive project, reviews the bill of quantities if provided by the designer or prepares its own, aimed at the most accurate estimate possible, and formalises the lump-sum contract. From that point, any variation from the project requires the designer's explicit authorisation: no unilateral changes.

The process includes periodic review meetings with the design studio to ensure executive fidelity at every stage. Studios we collaborate with on a regular basis include: Erker Studio, All Out Lab, Bello Dias. The vision remains your designer's. Our job is to deliver it exactly as drawn.

Selection takes place in collaboration with the designer and the client. Before execution, we produce samples to validate the chosen materials; where supplies are managed directly by Renewall, we present samples of the installable materials for the client's confirmation. This limits variations during the works.

We manage the logistics of technical supplies with long lead times, integrating them into the contractual schedule. A premium material installed out of sequence or under unsuitable conditions loses its value: installation quality is an integral part of the quality of the result. The photographs in the portfolio document real completed works, with no digital retouching.

Yes. A significant part of our work takes place in buildings subject to Soprintendenza constraints (the Italian heritage authority) or strict condominium regulations: protected facades, monumental staircases, internal courtyards, decorative elements that cannot be altered. We manage the regulatory process in its entirety: relations with the competent authorities, permits, technical documentation, as part of the general contractor service.

Since 1983 our family history has been built in historic Milanese buildings, with the capability to coordinate specialist tradespeople and handle the complexities that this type of intervention entails: sourcing original materials, integrating with existing structures, complying with regulatory and architectural constraints.
