Profile

BINOCLE is the office led by Italian architect Lorenzo Bini that deals with the transformation of existing spaces, from temporary structures to permanent buildings and gardens.

Born in 1971 and educated in Milan and Oslo, Lorenzo graduated in 1998 from Politecnico di Milano and worked in Milan and Rotterdam until 2003 when he started his own practice in Milano.

Alongside the professional activity, Lorenzo has taught at the Politecnico di Milano, at the Design Academy Eindhoven and at NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan.

In 2021 he became a member of the Council of the Order of Architects, Landscape Planners and Conservators of the Province of Milan with responsibility for cultural activities.

A “L” shaped 70 sqm attic - converted to accommodate a family of 3 - is organized in two areas of identical size and opposite characteristics.

The living area is a single space without any physical separation in which all the different activities coexist. The sleeping area is organized around a tiny corridor with 6 doors and is made up of very small rooms clearly divided between each other. A long balcony and a large terrace surround and complete the apartment.
