The volume is distributed in two separate pavilions,
adjacent but with slightly staggered locations for breaking its total volume.The shape of the buildings is
typical of simple construction with a pitched roof, the archetype of the
"house." It’s composed by n.1 deposit for rowing boats n.1 training-room
and n.1 multifunctional room.
The pavilions are placed longitudinally in relation to the
lake shore.
On the western side a continuous glass surface allows you to
enjoy the view of the Como lake. The deep frame above the glass surface manage
exposure to direct sunlight in the winter and summer solstices. The materials
are based on maximum simplicity. The tympanums are made in concrete - formwork type OSB (wood chips pressed) that returns to
the surface a smooth, natural appearance, the roof structure is composed by
steel profiles.
The roof surface reproduces the typical material of the
historic ferry piers on the Como Lake, the simple galvanized corrugated iron.
The four tympanum
are designed entirely covered with creeper species "ficus pumila."
The creeper, as well as reducing the impact of the built
volumes in the park, reinterprets historic customs. In the past this method to cover architectural
surfaces often was used on walls
and pavilions of the most important historic villas on the Como Lake.
