Designer's Studio
63, Via Adige, Vicenza, Italy
This project, located near the periphery of the city, embraces a view
overlooking a river and a future urban park.
The building program is a studio for an eyeglass designer resting upon
an existing structure and containing a completely transparent west facade which
provides a view of the park. Suspended
within the highest part of the building and containing large sliding glass
doors, the work space of the designer can open to the exterior environment. During the summer months, aluminium louvers
screen the incoming sunlight and the space is cooled by an air conditioning and
ventilation system. During the winter
months, the louvers retract and allow the sunlight to warm the space. Heating
is also installed within the flooring.
A lightweight structure in laminated fir beams and stainless steel
columns was studied in order to articulate the architectural details and
methodology used within the present construction. This technique, stemming from
local traditions, allowed the building to be resolved in its entirety during
the design phase of the project. It was
prefabricated off site and easily assembled in a short time. The structure of the building consists of
laminated wood trusses elevated on stainless steel columns made in a way
thoughtful to the resistance of corrosion.
At the ground floor is the prototype workshop constructed using a
similar method: it is composed of a suspended steel structure clad with reclaimed
bricks.
