HOUSE AND LABORATORY

In this case the special needs of the client have brought the design of a multifunctional restructuring: the old ancient houses, which were in irreparable condition both from architectural and structural point of view, were completely rebuilt in order to obtain three distinct residential units and a professional photo lab. The peculiarities of the historic center buildings were revisited in order to give the buildings the original imprint but suited to the needs of the client, such as partitions of facade, the large arched openings, the different heights and the wooden covering. The photographic laboratory consists of a large full height open space, with wooden structure of the roof to view and it is illuminated from the large openings in the facade, surrounded by technical rooms, with a metal structure loft for the work stations. The material choice of the interior fittings, wih glass and aluminum, and the choice to keep in view the heating and cooling systems pipes, stress and confirm the high technology level adopted in the restructuring of this property.
