In a street closed to one of the main roads of the historic center of Bologna -Italy- in a typical palace of the '700, open the gate of Casa PC, accommodation for tourist use.
The house was designed by working on a double register: on the one hand the aim was to maintain the planimetric structure as faithful as possible to the original plan, on the other we tried to work on a planimetric conformation with a variable structure, modifiable according to according to needs. The project started from the client's request to develop a system that could adapt to different groups of guests. The floor plan was therefore remodeled thinking of an entrance that disengages three different areas: two bedrooms independent of each other with their respective bathrooms, a further two-room apartment consisting of a living room with kitchenette and a double bedroom with bathroom and terrace. As if they were the plug in of the same body, these three areas can be "attached" to each other thus composing a unitary property or "detachable" creating new conformations composed of either a three-room apartment and a studio apartment or, again, a room with bathroom, a studio apartment and a further two-room apartment. This possibility was created by remodeling a large blind room -a passage room in the original layout- cutting it into several parts in order to connect it partly to another room through the creation of a portal, partly transforming it into an area that disengages two bedrooms and their respective bathrooms, partly creating a new additional bathroom.
Concerning to the finishes, the choice was made to follow an approach dear to the office, enhancing the old chromatic stratifications of the walls that emerged during the building site after removing the pre-existing wallpaper and recovering the exposed brick wall texture of a room in which an arch appeared that, in all likelihood, was an integral part of the underlying portico above which the room itself is located. Evoking worn fabrics, the frayed walls created by the overlapping of peeling paint, as well as the exposed brick wall, dialogue with the wooden texture that was chosen to lay on the floor, characterized by an Italian herringbone pattern in solid oak. The different textures that enrich the space on the walls and floors dialogue, by contrast, with the formal minimalism of the furnishings, both fixed and mobile. The wardrobes were created behind a newly built wall that acts as a headboard and encloses two opposing niches, each of which will hold the clothes of the two guests who will live in the room. The ecru-toned kitchen, created in a portion of the previous blind room and connected to the dining area thanks to the creation of a portal, integrates perfectly into the architectural space and adapts with its formal purity to the volume that houses it, chromatically recalling the adjacent painted wall that acts as a scenic backdrop to the dining area. The two bedrooms are both characterized by a wall with a strong visual impact, in one case given by the exposed brick and in the other case given by the recovery of the old paints. The last is formally underlined by the presence of a container unit with brass bases that extends along the entire length of the wall becoming a console but also a study area with a top that chromatically recalls the color of the wall.
