The STRAF is an unconventional building with an intellectuall design, in the heart of Milan. Blending recycled materials into new surroundings in a concept that shakes up the interior of a 19th century Milan palazzo. 62 rooms and 2 suites and 1 executive room combine two philosophies which are unlikey but successfull partners: extreme hi-tech functionality with a minimalist feel and the warm, intimate atmosphere of rooms designed with elegant, innovative materials like quarry-rough slate, burnished brass, concrete and iron, gauze-effect glass and mirrors aged by hand along with furnishings specially designed by Vincenzo De Cotiis.
