Edificio per abitazioni

Building the urban landscape

A piece of completion of its block edge in material and chromatic discontinuity with the immediate context. A building in natural travertine that considers the change of the stone over time as a compositional aspect and entrusts the façade design to the lights and shadows of the volumetric articulation of a single-material surface.

The project develops a relationship with the urban landscape starting from the choice to create an internal mineral and vegetal garden, which leads to redefining the characteristics of the entire block: from the back to the green interior.

The housing typology is developed on the idea of ​​building an ideal floor plan capable of enhancing, in the domestic experience, the condition of double facing. The pass-through living rooms cross the building and allow to simultaneously experience the view of the tree-lined street and the internal view of the garden.
