The project
concerns two small buildings situated in an irregular shape lot, near the old
town of Orsara di Puglia, in a street characterized by different typologies of
buildings.
The new
buildings completed the block by filling the gap between the fronts on the two
streets, left uncovered an internal area to brought light inside the two
buildings and related them to each other. It is possible to divide the front of
both houses in three elements: a basement made of brushed Apricena stone, a
surface completely covered with oak boards, containing the entrances, and a
white wall, without windows, for the front on Via Trento, while on Via Cadorna
there are two balconies in stainless steel.
Both the
buildings are covered by roofs with a single slope made of Rheinzink.
The
particular lot geometry have influenced volumetric development of the houses,
buildings follow the different directional lines which crossing the area.
The main
idea of the project starts from these bonds and finds the solution in the
rotation of the levels around the
chimney, like a fan, generating many terraces turned in direction of the court,
the core of the buildings.
