L’intervento in un appartamento del centro storico di Torino si è focalizzato sulla necessità di ricreare uno spazio domestico capace di integrare il carattere originario degli ambienti con la moderna definizione delle superfici, finiture e arredi. Il progetto mette in risalto e valorizza le strutture lignee del solaio con le travi in legno massello e il tavolato, che caratterizzano gli alti soffitti del soggiorno, cucina e camera da letto, con la nitidezza e chiarezza delle superfici murarie che delimitano le stanze. Proprio la camera da letto è la stanza maggiormente rappresentativa, concepita come il cuore dell’ambiente domestico. Qui le finiture delle pareti e degli arredi sono il tema dominante, sottolineando il gioco di nicchie e inserzioni che amplificano lo spazio perimetrale.
The apartment renewal in the hystoric centre of Turin, focused on the need to recreate a domestic dimension, able to evoke the original essence of these spaces matching the modern definition of surfaces and materials. The design emphasizes the wooden structure of the native slab with lowered beams and planking, in combination with clear and sharp walls of the living room, kitchen and bedroom. Bedroom is the core of the house, main representative room, where the walls and furniture finishing underlines the composition of niches, hollows and inserts that seems to expand the borders of the room.

The project Insufétta has completely renewed an attic in the heart of the inner city of Bologna.
In the global restoration the materials but also the attention to the historical house and context are at the core of the project; the wooden sructure which supports the roof become the protagonist freeing the trusses by demolishing walls that previously had been placed under.
The apartment changes shape to fit needs of modern living, furnishing and contaiments have the same colour of the walls in order to underline the ceiling, floors and some special forniture dear to the client
Podere Navigliano is an antique tuscan farmhouse in the heart of Sienese Clays where nature and history are the undisputed protagonists. This project is the evolution of thought Smallness which characterized all previous projects of the office. In this case especially the materials but also the attention to the historical context and the environment are at the heart of the project; the reinterpretation of traditional elements has allowed to find a new language, a new aesthetic inseparably linked to the tradition. Smallness in this context means the ability to find, edit and innovate materials, construction techniques and technologies specific of the site. The design effort was aimed at the definition of a project that can interact with the environment and the tradition but at the same time able to surprise showing a new beauty, rediscovered in the elements of tradition itself.
The project involves the renovation of a farm of 600 sqm spread over three levels: a ground floor that was used as a stable and service areas for agriculture, a first floor that housed two apartments and a second floor, consisting of two turrets, at the service of the apartments. Through a new arrangement of the interior was recreated a single dwelling trying to respect the essential characteristics of the traditional type, which is why in the ground floor have been localized service spaces (tavern, laundry, SPA, garage), in the first floor the living area that overlooks the valley to the south and two suites that overlook the most intimate private garden, in the two towers were located the most valuable suites.
Particular attention was paid to the choice of materials and in particular the floors are the key element of the intervention. The choice of floors and their positioning reflects the philosophy of the intervention. On the ground floor, intended for local service, was selected the resin that is adopting the previous clay pavement and well suited to the new features. In the living area on the first floor had originally brick floors of low quality, following the demolition of all interior floors for structural reasons, it was decided to revive the brick; our research has led to the choice of different stock of brick recovery of the same size mixed in a new pattern to obtain a more appearance. On the first floor and the second floor, in the bedroom, we have tried to reinterpret the tradition of woodworking proposing a cross and a diamond design recreated with the same logic of the brick floor, by assembling elements from wooden planks recovery of different essences, thus obtaining a pattern varied and uneven.
The steel is very important in this project, by structural element was brought to finishing element protagonist of the interior space. The corten staircase, the double-sided fireplace and steel hoops testify the intervention on the existing not trying to hide the scars but elevating them to characterizing element. All the walls are finished with natural lime lying in traditional way in an irregular manner; to emphasize the beauty of the material has been chosen was decided not to paint the walls but to let the natural colour of lime. All external facades have been treated and restored with the same lime and reproduce the aesthetics of its place except the facade of the main entrance that for structural reasons, it was rebuilt, in this case it was decided to change the system facade by inserting the element of jealousy used to illuminate the stairwell behind.

L’intervento è nato dalla necessità di ristrutturare un appartamento posto al primo piano di una palazzina esistente, per meglio rispondere alle necessità della famiglia, razionalizzare e rendere più affascinanti gli spazi interni. Punto di partenza sono state le esigenze dei proprietari e le caratteristiche planimetriche e dell’involucro: esposizione, affacci, balconi esterni, posizione degli elementi strutturali, posizione delle bucature, ecc. Il progetto prevede la netta separazione tra zona giorno e zona notte, la creazione di ambienti ampi, fluidi e confortevoli, la totale integrazione tra struttura architettonica e arredi, il massimo sfruttamento degli spazi tramite mobili contenitivi e armadiature. La zona giorno si articola in un grande soggiorno-pranzo con un divano, il mobile con la tv e un tavolo, e nella cucina, da cui si accede ad un ambiente di servizio ad uso dispensa e lavanderia. Il pranzo e la cucina sono in comunicazione ma separabili all’occorrenza da una porta scorrevole. La zona notte è formata invece da due camere da letto, per i genitori e per la figlia, da uno studio e da due bagni. L’accesso alle stanze avviene attraverso un corridoio con una pannellatura contenitiva a tutta altezza in rovere tinto moro che integra tre porte, tutto su disegno. Anche il soggiorno è caratterizzato da una pannellatura continua complanare a tutta altezza, che ingloba altresì la porta a pivot di ingresso alla zona notte. I bagni sono entrambi in marmo, rosa del Portogallo Aurora l’uno e Emperador l’altro, con mobili, lavabo e doccia su disegno. La cucina è caratterizzata da un elemento centrale su disegno in marmo e legno, che comprende un mobile contenitivo e un tavolo, perfettamente integrati in un’unica struttura, che risponde alla necessità di occultare un cavedio di impianti esistente. I pavimenti in parquet cabrewa e marmo calacatta, le pannellature complanari a tutta altezza in rovere tinto moro, le pareti bianche spatolate, la cura nell’illuminazione con lampade ad hoc e asole luminose nel controsoffitto e l’attenzione ai dettagli rendono la casa calda, elegante e gli ambienti affascinanti.
