Contempora - Casa Osti - Designer Villa with Garden in the City Center

Located on a private alley in downtown Milan, Casa Osti is a 1920s villa featuring high ceilings, Venetian terrazzo floors, and a garden. Refurbished to serve as the design residence for the Danish brand New Works, it combines Milanese sophistication with Nordic elegance. The furniture from the collection comes to life across the building’s three floors. The property also includes 2 free outdoor parking spaces (subject to confirmation of vehicle dimensions). Casa Osti is designed to be lived in, not just admired: a unique residence where design blends with the warmth of a real home.

THE SPACE

From the entrance, featuring a bright glass door with neoclassical metal details, you move through the airy, interconnected spaces of the first floor, which include spacious living and dining rooms, the atelier-style kitchen, a guest bathroom, and the laundry room.

LOCATION
Casa Osti is located on a private residential alley, in a quiet, tree-lined corner of downtown Milan, where the surrounding villas share the same garden-enveloped atmosphere. Just a short walk away are three metro stations (De Angeli, Amendola, Buonarroti), allowing you to reach the Duomo in about fifteen minutes. Corso Vercelli and Via Marghera, both a five-minute walk away, are bustling with trattorias, gelaterias, wine bars, and the lively rhythm of Milanese city life.
The CityLife shopping district, with its towers designed by Hadid and Libeskind, is a ten-minute walk away; Fiera Milano City and the design districts are even closer. During the Salone del Mobile and Fuorisalone, the home is within walking distance of many of the main design districts. Supermarkets, pharmacies, and a daily market are all within a three-block radius.

PARKING
Two uncovered parking spaces are available for guests. Since this is a historic neighborhood with limited maneuvering space, access is subject to prior confirmation based on the exact dimensions of the car.
