Project descrip­tion

The project inter­venes on an his­tor­i­cal build­ing, a 5 storey “palaz­zo” in a res­i­den­tial area in a North-Western
bor­ough of Rome, by one of the most famous Art Nou­veau Ital­ian archi­tects, Gino Coppede’. The construction
includ­ed an Art-Nou­veau exot­ic gar­den, dilap­i­dat­ed after hav­ing been neglect­ed for many years.
The project is based on a strong sep­a­ra­tion between the his­tor­i­cal build­ing, restored and brought back to the
orig­i­nal state as pos­si­ble and the new con­struc­tion. This approach, that avoids ambigu­ous contaminations
between the pre-exist­ing ele­ments and the new ones, is ful­ly rep­re­sent­ed in the small church real­ized as a build­ing with­in the build­ing, an ark made of wood­en arch­es wrap­ping the space (12 – in the num­ber of the Apostles).
The old stairs have been demol­ished and replaced by a new wood­en sculp­tur­al stairs that con­nect all lev­els and
encour­age to vis­it the build­ing, up to the scenic ter­race at the fourth floor that over­sees the entire city.
