"Project for the renovation of a villa of the early '900 in Florence"

2017 Florence

This project was born from the necessity to use, through the lowering, attic
areas, inside the building that has been subject to redevelopment .

The areas in question are: The area of the stairs on the first floor of almost,
irregular shape, in the project plan and the countertop of all the plans of the first
floor used as a living area, that presents irregular shapes, carefully detached
from the existing walls, through the use of white metal joints, integrated into the
plasterboard as well as to the improvement of the functional services on the
same floor, from which obtained wardrobe area, bathroom area and laundry
area / storage room, compared to the previous plant, avoid of these areas,
except the bathroom area.
The entire project, is developed along the straight line, essential element from
which is generated the entire operation, until the solutions adopted for the choise
of particulars and details, with particular attention of the stairs.
The connecting project with the attic, was born, ideally, from a block of
parallelepipeidale shape, in the space detected, from which is captured is
trapezoidal shape existing in plant, that represents, in projection, the stairs, with
all its points and its altimetry of steps overlying the work.
The portion derived from the attic, instead, is originated from the drawing in
plant, in particularly, the representation of its section, which ideally generates a
shell composed of compositional subtractions and additions of entire volumes.
