“Quel conoscersi non fu una descrizione. Si era partiti dagl’angoli:
piccoli gesti, minime reazioni a situazioni quotidiane, e intanto, nella
memoria, si andavano scavando le fondamenta.
Pian piano l’idea si fece precisa, e la sua precisione divenne inutile.”
Rosso Rota, Marzo 2022
The project consists in the renovation of a pitched roof structure located on the top floor of a XIX century building that for a certain period of time was also the atelier of the painter Renato Guttuso.
The volume, a brick parallelepiped with a roof made of iron reticular beams, as well as three large openings towards a large terrace facing south, featured a series of small fascinating irregular windows arranged along the perimeter walls framing views of the city turning them into paintings.
This structure, initially built as a space for the common washrooms of the condominium, while enjoying a privileged location and view, was made up of a series of rooms confusedly distributed with critical heights compared to the habitability standards necessary for a modern residential structure.
The project therefore focused on a redistribution of spaces starting from a work on the roof sections that became the real protagonist of the space: angles, inclined lines, slopes and cusps were the tricks used to articulate the spatial envelope in a variety of programmatic volumes.
A space that reminds us of the importance of raising our eyes to the sky.
The space expands, frees itself in a flexible system of sliding walls that modulate the rooms during the day, articulating intimacy or sociability, shadow and dazzle, continuity or fragmentation.
The palette of natural materials such as oak wood, pece stone, Iranian marble, burnished steel and terracotta have helped to create an elegant atmosphere that radiates warmth and tranquillity, capable of stimulating the senses, evoking unusual, unexpected and unaware perceptions.
