Pisa 18

The project, the result of the renovation of an old production building in turn transformed into offices, seeks a synthesis between the various, heterogeneous souls of the Aurora district. The structure of the original production building is freed from the heavy added facade; the façades are equipped with large glazed openings, with a clear predominance of the voids on the full. In this way the building recovers, albeit with a certain abstraction, its original industrial “aura”. On top of the existing structure is added a completely new, dark and somewhat enigmatic volume. Conceived as an urban “villa” divided into three units, it clearly detaches from the image of the building below.
