You will be amazed to admire the he asked with a refined style intended for home use, an unconventional choice capable of causing a sensation but certainly of great effect. Perhaps a path of desecration that has already made its appearance in public environments, such as restaurants, pubs and even discos. So why not dare inside a private home? As proof that the unique environments between sacred and profane they can coexist without detracting from the pleasures of everyday life. Of course it is not for everyone to prepare lunch on the marble altar or admire the view from a stained glass window, but some have succeeded with excellent results.
One of he asked with a refined style around the world, is located in Chicago. This small abandoned church has been transformed by the Linc Thelen Design and Scrafano Architects studios into a modern villa with a welcoming appearance.

The domestic spaces are warmed by the presence of light wood on the floor which also acts as a trait d’union to the entire open space. The contemporary black and white defines the spaces and is enhanced by the chromatic contrast with the ancient stained glass windows.
Another one church design which stands out for its housing conversion is located in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Here the light dominates which enhances the structure of the ancient vaults and spreads freely in the domestic environments, as if to evoke the primitive spiritual function. Here too we play on the contrasts of black and white with the iridescent windows, all tempered by the more domestic wooden parquet. The bathroom is disconcerting: a place where he names the late night lit by flashes of fiery red, white sanitary ware and suspended throbbing candles.
A former deconsecrated church is transformed into a luxury apartment in Notting Hill. What is immediately striking are the fluorescent colors of the sofa and armchairs, in stark contrast to the general whiteness. A real desecration of the ecclesiastical garments used during the liturgies: the purple of Penance and the cardinal’s red take on new significance, inducing the profane pleasures of idleness.
