The design of the study, has redefined the existing property, putting it a new structure comprising a porch that serves as the entrance to the showroom, as well as a suspended pavilion located on the downstream side which faces the landscape.

They were covered with a false-fiber cement all the stone frames of existing openings, including the summit of the roof cornice.

On the southern front, however, looking to the landscape, the porch is transformed into a pavilion with metal and light roof structure. The front of this new pavilion, used as exhibition features products of showrooms, is characterized by a large frame window that frames the landscape. From inside the pavilion is thus a direct relationship with the view to the city of Comiso and its historic center. In the evening, the pavilion lights up and turns into a bright lantern in the countryside, with the lights of the city visible from the inside.
