The intervention involved the complete renovation of the interior of a restaurant, located on the ground floor of a historic building in the center of Pordenone.


The cornerstone of the operation was the placement of a metal structure inside the central room to act as a mezzanine, taking advantage of the entire height of the building, in order to create an additional restaurant room and freeing up the space below where to place the counter and the sales area, together with tables and chairs.


The other design choices focused on making the place more welcoming and functional, without distorting it, characterizing the different rooms with different lighting fixtures.

The air conditioning, electrical and hydraulic system was also replaced.

The intervention involved the complete refurbishment of a bar, located on the ground floor of a 1970s building complex, located near the Pordenone railway station.
The design focused on 2 themes: the outside, where to improve the visibility and recognisability of the premises; the interior, where the spaces can be reconfigured with the aim of optimizing commercial activity.


As far as the first point is concerned, the old windows and doors were replaced with others of new construction and greater height (3.6m), allowed by the demolition of the pre-existing false ceiling.
Inside, thanks to the new windows, the internal partition and the arrangement of the furnishings were changed while the kitchen and finishes were completely renovated, except for the floor, which is kept in marble.
The counter has been relocated and covered in porphyry, with a different finish based on the function, hammered for the infill panels and polished for the worktops. The element is projected outside one of the 2 sides of the room, creating an infill element with the function of a support surface for customers and employees.


A white metal structure winds through the space made larger by the lack of false ceiling, becoming the supporting element of the lighting elements, whether they are linear, with thin LED bars, or spherical, with pairs of opal spheres.
In addition, the same structure is declined in various other elements: high table at the intersection of the external sides, backlit supports for the shelves in the back counter, display and partition structures, all interspersed with plywood tops.


The new ceiling has been completely covered with anthracite sound-absorbing elements, which contrast with the warm and light colors given to the walls.

194 AVALA DENTAL – DENTAL PRACTICE

place: Pordenone
client: Private
assignment: direct

The project involves the expansion of a dental practice, created by merging 3 neighboring properties. A large surface covered in metal laminate that accompanies the visitor during their stay at the clinic characterizes the environment: it is present at the entrance, in the waiting room, in the distribution corridor direct to the dental rooms. It is an element that performs various functions, merging the front door, concealing a warehouse and a service for employees, including full-height door wardrobes. Another characterizing element is the large glazed box that serves as an office, with serigraphs in tone-on-tone colors combined with the rest of the premises, which contrasts with the silent walls with flush-mounted doors that conceal additional service rooms for employees.

069 IL TULIPANO COMMERCIAL BUILDING

place: Pordenone
client: Private
assignment: direct
architects: arch. Ado Furlan, arch. Vittorio Pierini
collaborator: arch. Gianluca Zanette

The shape, height and surface of the building are strictly defined by the building code. The site is an area placed at the intersection between various expressways in the outskirts of the city. The program calls for the construction of a commercial building including retail space. The “rules of the game” being thus defined, the building has emerged, and could not be otherwise, as a container, a box. The main elements of the design are contextual reading, the cladding of the box, its materials and colors. The building is wrapped in a double skin: silver-grey aluminium plate for the roof; dark grey aluminium plate and glass for the walls. The two layers are superposed, the former covers, the latter enwraps. The shape of the building recalls a hill, a body that the viewer perceives as intermediate between the flat landscape of the plain and the nearby mountains.
