The intervention is a restoration of an attic in Turin,
which final intention of the client was to obtain a
unit for a B&B use. The project gives the op-portunity
to create an environment that accommodate future
tenants and at the same time gives a moment of relaxation
and peace. The building structure in reinforced
concrete becomes the central element. Close to it, a
big window with spatial subdivision function, between
the sleeping area and the living room, amplifies
the spaces and allows a 360-degree view of the whole
house. A light.-green volume hides the bathroom
and a technical volume. Thanks to the wide velux and
the two new dormer windows, the environment is
enriched with a light that was previously lacking. Hybridizing
the existing structure, two metal beams are
inserted at the place of the previous beams in reinforced
concrete to increase the height from the ground
and allow an easier passage. Distribution pipes of the
heating further characterize the intervention, as thay
freely move within the volume of the house.
