Article source: NAT Office – christian gasparini architect Abstract An ancient and listed building, heritage of the past, becomes a new home/office, intertwining a dialog between indoor and outdoor, place and space, voids and levels, walls and glasses. The roof with terrace, skylight and pv panels becomes a fifth \”facade\”. Like in a Piranesi’s work you can move in many directions through the space.  Image Courtesy © filippo poli

The building, originally established as a stable and barn annexed to an historical listed park, is redefined by an innovative use of interior spaces that emphasize volumes and original spatiality in a continuous dialogue between innovation and tradition.  Image Courtesy © filippo poli  Image Courtesy © filippo poli The project works on existing indoor levels, contemporarily reinterpreted, not changing voids and full spaces of the historical facades and the typological elements such as the porch, but elevating them like key points to define free plans inside the volume, where slide on each other generating double and triple height cavities.

The spaces on the first floor underline the juxtaposition of the central body to the east wing through the introduction of a double flight stair linking all internal levels, appearing as transparent cases hanging into the volume. This movement of levels originates new enclosed surfaces caring about privacy while, at the same time, it allows the hayloft spaces to be read and looked up in their beauty.

On the upper floors, the staircase’s movement leads to the head office-studio with roof terrace in continuity with the skylight of the winter garden.
