DETAILS MATTER

The meticulous attention to detail has crafted a minimalist sculptural form, where pristine white surfaces seamlessly intersect with the warm embrace of inner soft wooden textures, harmonizing in exquisite balance.

The Project as been selected to be part fo the best Young Italian Architects in 2014

Rooted in the fabric of its surroundings, the building stands as a testament to adaptive reuse and sustainable architecture. Built upon a narrow and elongated site, its architectural volume emerges as a harmonious integration of function and aesthetics.

The ground floor, defined by a deliberate subtraction along the southwest facade, creates a dynamic interplay of light and shade, offering respite from the sun's harsh glare.

Ascending to the first floor, a narrative of elevation unfolds, revealing a spatial choreography that captivates the senses. Here, a higher volume at the north end gives way to a verdant courtyard, a tranquil oasis amidst the urban bustle. This green sanctuary, adorned with lush foliage, serves as a visual anchor, drawing the eye towards the heavens above.

Yet, it is within the inner sanctum of the building that the true essence of its design is revealed. Enclosed by perimeter walls adorned with carefully crafted openings, the interior spaces beckon with a sense of intimacy and warmth. Framed by the surrounding bucolic fields in a cinematic embrace, these vistas offer glimpses into a world of serenity and tranquility. 

But beyond its aesthetic allure, this architectural marvel is a testament to innovation and sustainability. Innovative construction systems, seamlessly integrated into its design, minimize construction time while maximizing energy efficiency. With a keen focus on thermal and acoustic insulation, the building sets new benchmarks for environmental responsibility and occupant comfort.
