Image Courtesy © ZPZ PARTNERS  Image Courtesy © ZPZ PARTNERS The identity of the existing building has been respected and valued, restoring the existing doors and windows, the niches with a seating, decorations and stuccoes and, generally, maintaining the full white color of the rooms. A white color that highlights the glimpses of city through the windows: the austere stone walls and the green trees. In short, the ‘shell’ remains linked to the identity of the building, while functional and aesthetic layers are added. The ceilings are emphasized with pastel colors inside the decorative stuccoes and frames, that, by the way, tell stories of old different lay-outs. Some printed wallpapers and glass partitions equipped with color semitransparent patterns are entrusted to define the color identity of the rooms, with the important help of furnishings. The furnishings play an important role in defining the activities and in completing the material and chromatic identity of the space.
