HOUSIDE DOWN

HOUSIDE DOWN

Exterior view
An important italian fashion company wants to create a space for catwalks in its first office.
At same time this space could be used for the exposition of their projects and products.
The request is for a new building that extends the historical office.
The place is a classical red brick villa in Tuscany surrounded by hills, trees and green.
The aim of the project is to relate the new building with the existing, using the villa as a starting point to create a new typology of architecture that it merges itself with the surrounding buildings but, at the same time, to be very iconic to reflect the quality of the company. From the shape of the existing building, the new volume starts and finishes with the same shape but upside down. This deformation allows to create a double staircase that can be used as a seats for audience and a platform for to show the products.
The corten steel panels provide the ability to integrate into the environment, with the pre-existence but at the same time differentiating itself from it.
