The client, a long-standing local business owner, requested a structure that could put together spaces and activities in spatially separated buildings. The project has involved the restoration of a low-rise building dating back to the 50’s, the transformation of another building from the 80’s, the connection between the two and a new construction with its external spaces. The result is a 2500 sq. mts. commercial space with strong representative characteristics, that revises and requalifies the relationship with the urban fabric in regards to shape, form and architectural materials.
The main entrance is highlighted by the steel portal that serves as a frame for the front facing Via Micono: the glazed angular gap identifies the entrance to the commercial space through a double height area. The building on Via Piave has been deeply transformed: the exposed brick and plastered walls alternate on the façade and wrap around the background building with the shop windows on the ground floor and the offices on the first floor.
