The volume where the intervention was carried out is located on the third floor, in the attic, of a house within the old walls of the historic village. It was intended as a barn which was accessed through a trap door because there was no staircase leading to it. The hay was stored in the highest part of the house and from here it was made to go down to the stable with a pulley. Our intervention was carried out in this single volume, covered with a wooden roof supported by two trusses.My design attitude is identified with contemporaneity and even more exciting was being able to intervene in a historical context so deteriorated but fascinating and with a beautiful view over the valley. I wanted to make even more evident the gap between the pre-existence, left completely unaltered, and what has been inserted inside the volume to meet the needs of a home.
With two mezzanines made with a metal structure we have created two sleeping areas that are distinct and distant from each other, slightly shielded by the existing roof beams, so that, even if open but kept apart, positioned at the two ends of the volume, it could be kept a little of privacy, in case there were guests who would stay at night.
At the widest mezzanine, the one dedicated to the main sleeping area of the house, we have also inserted the two bathrooms, each one on the two levels . The lower one has an anteroom where the laundry has been placed and the upper one for the exclusive service of the master bedroom . The kitchen is opened in the living and it has been positioned on the wall below the main mezzanine.The house being a single volume, the most incisive impact is obtained upon entering, where the large volume is characterized by one of the mezzanines with the wide copper cylinder in which the two bathroom showers have been placed, together with the wall shield, covered in copper-colored cladding, that contains the fireplace positioned between the two panoramic windows overlooking the valley. Inside the all intervention there is a unique dialogue between the pre-existing and the contemporary, in which the chestnut wood beams and the larch floor maintain the predominance, compared to what has been inserted , as project , cautiously and delicately, to create a comfortable home that reflected the wishes of the client.Being a home for the weekend it was not thought of furnishing it with furniture or design objects but all the furnishings except for the contemporary sofa are the result of research in warehouses and flea market that the client has done over time. The armchairs in navy -colored velvet are a set with the vintage sofa over the main bedroom mezzanine , as well as the large dining table it was an old walnut desk from the offices of the Vatican State , deposited in a disused furniture warehouse. The chairs are from the 19th century, also found in a flea market.
The snack is an old coffee table to which wheels and a steel top have been added. All objects are rustic and they were found in the local countryside. Kitchen and wardrobes are custom designed. The most used material is the white painted steel for the construction of the two mezzanines with the relative ladders, the plasterboard to create the wall scores in a way that were light and the predominant color is copper with which is finished the cylinder and the wall shield of the fireplace . A pastel green tone has been associated with the main mezzanine to differentiate it from the withe of the walls precisely to highlight the new intervention from the ancient volume.
The main color scheme is white for the pre-existing walls , natural wood for the roof structure and flooring and copper color. We have in addition small accents of pastel green and navy. The lights are mostly on the walls and the reading area is highlighted by a lamp made with a fishing rod and electric wire holding a bare light bulb.
