The house is a re-reading of the 19-20th century villa typical of the Veneto-Friuli regions. The residence has a square plan, with a central double-height stairwell, downlit by two skylights, leading to the rooms distributed on the four sides. The north section of the ground floor is mainly devoted to service functions such as the main entry to the house, the kitchen, a wardrobe and a bathroom. The south section accommodates the living area, opened to the park, with dining room, living room, and a porch. The sleeping area is at the first floor. To the west an light well brings light and air to the living quarters in the basement. A special care is devoted to spatial organization and the design of the openings in the façades. At the first floor, the depth of the wall in coincidence with the openings emphasizes their characters of frames opened onto the historical park surrounding the house. The treelined way, rehabilitated to use as a path for cars and pedestrians, as well as the redesign of the entry section, make both the historical building and the newlybuilt house easily accessible. The shelter for cars, with its corten iron plate cladding, is markedly different from the house, clad in Orsera stone slabs laid straight with rolled finishing.

The house is placed on the north-south axis of the site and is built as a 2-story block with a covered space acting as porch and car shelter. The service areas are at the ground floor within a volume distinct from the main residence whose design recalls the shape of the local examples of industrial archeology. The concept of the house is simple and rational: living areas (living-room, dining-room, kitchen and bathroom) at the ground floor and sleeping areas at the first floor. A double-height space in the living area, with a balcony leading to the master bedroom and dividing it from the children’s bedrooms, accommodates the staircase. The large glass windows of the dining-living room provide views to the surrounding landscape: a “telescopic” window to the north frames the nearby mountains, while an opening to the west connects the living room with the garden, and to the east a wide glass window floods with light the double-height area of the dining-room offering a remarkable view towards the sky.

008 GILFY CLOTHING STORE

The building is formed by 3-story independent blocks linked by a balcony giving access to fifteen apartments of different shapes and types. The interstitial space is one floor lower and forms a light well that runs through the building lengthwise and “lies” the complex to the ground. The elements of type and distribution, the materials and shapes, allow for a clear formal reading of the design. The blocks appear as solid volumes with regular openings lending them architectural unity. The distribution system allows for horizontal and vertical movement within the building and creates ever-changing views. The blocks are flooded with light and air. To the northeast, the main volume fronts onto the city; to the south and west, smaller volumes are connected with the single-family houses. The living quarters of the apartments also front onto the open parts of the lot, while the distribution spaces look onto the light well. The bow-windows and projecting window frames stand out as exceptional elements and are intended to serve special functions: the former enlarge the space of the one-room apartment , the latter include the wood panels conceived as sunscreens for the terraces.

The building houses different functions: offices and related service rooms for 24 administrative staff, conference room for up to 99 people, rooms for use as changing rooms for 100 operational workers. The location urban layout led the design choices: the construction of a single-storey building without openings in the external elevations with the working areas facing 3 internal courtyards. From the functional point of view, there are 3 specific areas: south-east there are the administrative offices organized around a central courtyard; a second internal courtyard divides the offices from the conference room and a third separates the aforementioned conference room from the changing rooms, located north-west. The courts provide light and air to the windowed rooms, guaranteeing users environmental, sensorial and emotional quality. Externally, the facades of the building, designed with a painted exposed reinforced concrete finish, have no windowed openings and are completely covered by vegetation and plants to form a green mass. This guarantees formal recognizability, human dimension of the construction (also thanks to the one floor limited height) and improving the building energy performance. The roof is flat, covered with gravel and equipped with photovoltaic panels for energy self-sufficiency.

The project involves the renovation of the Cinema Theater Miotto in Spilimbergo (PN). Opened in 1937, it is located in the north of the historical city center. The exterior has been kept almost unaltered, except for the demolition and reconstruction of a new warehouse of enlarged dimensions. The interior has been consolidated, structurally improved and adapted to the current regulations of the building through the reconstruction of the stage, the stalls and the gallery as well as the redevelopment of the entrance, the foyer and the bathrooms. In the theater hall conceptually 2 elements interpenetrate: one in wood, that constitute flooring and acoustic elements; one in black plasterboard, that contains air conditioning and lighting systems. Moreover, the space under the stage has been trasformed into a store and rehearsal room, and the adjacent basement, previously used as a pizzeria, in dressing rooms and bathrooms.

The project involves the restructuring of a dental practice organized on two floors; a first operational level, a second level with service environments. The choice was to give a formal characterization to the environments on the basis of the functions that take place there. In a volume / container located at the center of the studio, services (reception, bathrooms, storage areas, technical rooms, laboratories) are placed; as an independent island defines the circular path that distributes the surgeries positioned along the windowed sides of the study. A staircase, located at the end of the route, allows access to the rooms on the upper floor intended for private use (dressing room, archives, etc.). The materials are marmorino for the central volume, white glaze for all the other rooms. To these are added the use of satin-finished glass, stainless steel, lacquered and glossy enamels in finishes and fixed wooden furniture.

The classic layout of the liberty villa, with a central distribution corridor in side rooms and main staircase for distribution to the floors, is maintained. The project involves the construction of an internal staircase to connect the ground floor to the first floor located on the west side of the villa, in a portion of the building subject to an expansion in the 1950s, in order not to distort the original plant. Door shifts and the construction of some partition walls are planned to enhance the new environments envisaged by the project; the toilets are made from scratch. On the second floor there is also a staircase with a light structure (iron and wood), in order to access a study in the attic. Furthermore, some elements are rebuilt, such as the roof, the flooring, the thermo-hydraulic system, doors and windows.
