Project description_

 

To meet the new requirements, the competition program for the expansion of the Ciudad de la Justicia de Murcia included the doubling of existing building area, built in 2000, with the construction of a new wing in the free areas of the lot-mail south and east.

Despite  the previously feasibility study that suggested to build the extension of the existing building  within a “L” shaped volume, we decided to do not to comply with this requirement, and we designed a building located and rotated in the plot area in order to ensure better orientation.We arranged all the functions in one unique building located perpendicularly to the existing one and to this connected by pedestrian paths at different levels.

One of the project’s goal was also to design a building that would combine the rigid features of a court, and its strictly separated paths related to the many different functions and functionary , with the proper seriousness that characterizes the administration department.

It is thus proved that we have defined a type of “slippage” and “sponge”. At a plan level we defined main functional areas as rooms for hearings, general offices, open spaces offices, the judges’ offices with their assistants. These areas are conceived as a separated volumes , we have slipped in order to create empty spaces between them. Aforementioned empty areas were designed to be Gardens, terraces, green volumes which not only provide a sense of “home” to the but that, taking advantage of the chimney-effect, allow the generation of air currents that naturally cools the interior spaces and cooperating in the functional flexibility of the building, taking shape as possible space useful in the future if the needs of the Ciudad de la Justicia would increase.

The alternation of the volume with the green voids characterizes the building with an interesting volumetric and spatial vibration.

Project description_

 

Our scope of work regards the complete renovation of indoor  and outdoor space of a  beach Villa in the “Villaggio dei Pescatori” Compound in Fregene, a seaside town a few kilometers from Rome.

Only the volume and the main structure  have been preserved  of the original house, dating back to the early 60s. We modified radically the whole internal and external distribution, starting from the facade up to the veranda and garden. The external original red brick color has been replaced by a white painting, considered more elegant and suitable. All the closures are made of bent sheet metal and painted white. The terrace has been extended and the original veranda has been replaced with a wooden canopy with frame similar to the brise soleil type, that provide a pleasant shade on the front side during summertime becoming a pleasant place to be to relax, read a book or lunch with friends in spite of the summer heat. The garden, in a complete state of disrepair, has been cleaned up protecting only some native plants, leaving a large area dedicated simply to grass

All indoor  spaces have been completely transformed and redesigned. The main kitchen originally located near the main entrance, at the Ground floor level, has been moved in the back of the house. The above to create a unique big and flexible space used as a main living and dining room as well. In that area we displaced a big  steel cantilevered table , direct continuation of the stove, comfortably used as a table or kitchen worktop or even sitting, thanks to the 22 cm in difference between the FFL of the kitchen and the living room. Beside the kitchen, where previously the living room were placed,  there is a small guest room, equipped with private bathroom.

The original spiral staircase has been replaced with a wooden staircase with cantilevered steps inserted into the wall. This alternative allows us to get space in the first level for a master bedroom, originally located in the Ground floor , fully equipped with private bathroom and wardrobe.

Through a glazing  door you have access to a large outdoor terrace paved with IPE wood. The original main load-bearing wall, located in the center of the house, was treated with a special plaster  roughly finished. All the furniture and FF&E are custom made and designed by us

Project description_

 

The penthouse is located in a building of the ’30s located in the San Lorenzo district in Rome. As per Client’s request, the intervention was aimed to transform a typical apartment located in a popular district in Rome, originally divided into a series of small rooms connected by a corridor, as  into a classic New York-style loft. The Loft ,thanks to the bearing walls structure, is completely free of pillars and consists of only two spaces: a large main space, where the free stand steel kitchen , the living and dining spaces are placed,  and another area , the private one, where the bedroom and the study room are located.  One of the main walls of the building, 80 cm thick, divide the above two areas. The design intent was to emphasize the presence of aforementioned pre-existent wall, and we decided to finish it with a special rough plaster painted in purple color.

Three raw steel shelves, designed with a C shape, are displaced on the purple wall, and they work as the library home used. To satisfy the Client’s need to have a completely private space  that include  the bedroom, the studio and a personal bathroom and wardrobe as well, we decided to design and to build a  natural wooden Cube that enclose all the required functions, streamlining the most of available space and leaving as free as possible home space.

On the top side of the Cube – which is accessed by a stainless steel staircase painted in white – it was leaning a futon thus solving the sleeping area. Inside the Cube wardrobe ,a small bathroom with custom made sink and a shower , and a small laundry are displaced. Paving is finished with a  sheets of penolic plywood painted in light gray resin.

Project description_

 

Al terzo piano di un edificio negli anni ’20 in prosssimità di via Paolo Meda a Milano, si trova questo lungo e stretto appartamento di proprietà una psichiatra milanese, il cui desiderio era trasformare un’abitazione caratterizzata da un lungo corrodoio buio su cui si aprivano le diverse stanze, in uno spazio il più possibile aperto, continuo e simile ad un loft.

Per soddisfare il desiderio della proprietaria di dare alla cucina, su cui in origine si apriva l’ingresso principale, una maggiore centralità ed importanza – essendo il luogo maggiormente vissuto dalla famiglia – si è deciso d’invertire il locale precedentemente destinato al soggiorno con quello della cucina stessa, realizzando qui un grande tavolo centrale in tek e struttura in acciaio delle dimensioni di 180x180cm, su cui trovano posto anche i fuochi e una parte del piano di lavoro.
In questo modo diventa possibile conversare con i propri opsiti durante la fase della cucina, trasformando uno spazio ed un atto “operativo” in momento di estrema socialità e convialità.

Sulla parete posteriore trova posto un blocco realizzato completamente in acciaio inox e disegnato su misura, contenente tutte le facilities di una cucina totalmente funzionale. Nella parte centrale ed in corrispondenza della finestra è stato un inserito nel piano un lavello in acciaio saldato con piano stesso.

Per caratterizzare il lungo corridoio, dare continuità a tutto l’appartamento e contenere l’elevato numero di libri della proprietaria, è stata realizzata per tutta la sua lunghezza una libreria-mensola in lamiera di ferro crudo appositamente trattato, a cui è stata inserita nella parte posteriore una luce fluorescente regolabile tramite dimer che svolge non solo da funzione d’illuminare il corriodio, ma che genera un ambiente estremamente gradevole.
La parete di fondo è stata trattata con intonaco a vista grezzo con effetto nuvolato.
