XX Building, Spacelab Architects, Italy 2009
(Preliminary design) Status quo: decommissioned industrial block.
Purpose: building replacement with mixed functions
(commercial/business/residential).
Composition is resolved with stacked and tilted blocks above a
commercial slab. This solution, guided by particular attention to
sunshine exposure and orientation, improves visuals, daylight and
privacy for the functional units. Each residential/business unit is
provided with exclusive terraces and roof-gardens with unique visuals.
The name XX refers to the distinctive shape of the plan. ©Spacelab Architects, 2009-2010
