A project developed by InvestiRE SGR, leading operator in the asset management sector and part of the Banca Finnat Group, the hostel opens to the public in April 2022 in one of the city’s key areas, close to the Fortezza da Basso. It will be the brand’s third hostel, following their second opening in Milan in 2021. Florentine firm Pierattelli Architetture were tasked with defining a new concept of informal hospitality and developing a narrative capable of being form and substance, structure and content, space and message.

Heritage and insertion
The project is established on the former open-air parking lot of the Pré l’Arpent housing estate, mainly occupied by wrecked vehicles. This housing complex, built in 1974 by the Andrault and Parat agency, consists of a three-story stepped building with a first floor parking lot at its heart. This construction of high heritage quality demonstrates a time when these architects sought to reconcile the qualities of collective and individual housing through intermediate housing. They designed several variations of the kind throughout the territory.
The beneficiaries of this apartment are a young couple, who wanted their first home to be a special place. He likes neutral tones, simplicity and natural materials. She prefers French-style colors and influences. We have combined all these elements so that the result is to everyone’s liking.
Designing anonymous dwellings, without a specific final user, offers the opportunity (and the challenge) to investigate and put into practice concepts such as flexibility, perfectibility and versatility of occupation and the ability to adapt domestic space and time.
This is the case of Flat White, an apartment for rent for long periods of time, a commission that consists of designing, in the client’s own words, “a neutral house” -as if this were possible- susceptible to be occupied by any inhabitant with any way of living; a rehabilitation of a 45m2 space located in Madrid’s city center, near the recently renovated Plaza de España.
I get in the car, turn the keys, listen to the noisy symphony coming from the engine and hit the road to reach my house in the town of Amieira, next to Marinha Grande, land of glass and the mold industry in Portugal.
Arriving at the desired address, after passing through the small family industries and between the pine forest of Leiria and the small town of Amieira, with some isolated and disordered houses, I see amidst the green vegetation, at the bottom of the plot, the house, which has an industrial image, which refers to the industrial pavilions in Marinha Grande, but at the same time conveys the comfort, scale and image of a contemporary dwelling. A large and voluminous metallic canopy, black and dynamic, draws the contours of the house and rests on a glass box that makes it levitate.
Frumales is a small village located in a pine valley in Segovia, Spain. Frumales’ beautiful city center is surrounded by farmlands and stone-made country-houses. The site results from the aggregation of three lots containing masonry-ruined buildings.
Corte del Tiglio is the new project that strengthens the collaboration between Archventil and Rinofanto Development, and is the first real estate project to go to CrowdFundMe, also announced by Sole24Ore.
The project involved the construction of 5 residential units divided into two buildings, each with large windows overlooking a private garden.
The location is Milan, in Via Bonaventura Zumbini, a rapidly developing residential area.
The apartment, located on the top floor of a building on the border between the Prati and Balduina districts, has one of its strengths in the brightness of the rooms. The project reflects the will of the customers, a young family at their first cohabitation in Rome after having lived in France and the Philippines, to take full advantage of the living area with the kitchen designed as a meeting place.
Standing out on top of a hill, the Itatiba House was designed in such a way as to make the most of the existing topography, keeping the building at a high level in order to enjoy the view of the surroundings. The implantation of the house happens in an oblique way in relation to the street, making it skewed on the lot. In addition to guaranteeing the most beautiful views for most of the rooms, we managed to ensure that the project would guarantee a greater distance from the future neighbor with the most important view, and that the openings of most of the rooms of the house would be oriented to the North-South face, optimizing the insolation in the winter and at the same time being more protected from the peak sun in the summer. In order to overcome the slope of more than 7 meters to the bottom of the lot and the difference of 4 meters from one side to the other from the front of the lot, it was decided to create a ramp on the lower side in order to transfer to the car the effort of the ascent, until reaching the garage that is in the back of the house.
Located in a private condominium, the BRJ house stands out for its concrete elements composed of two blind gable walls e prestressed beams, forming a set of porches that characterizes its volume and shelters the heart of the house: the social sector and services. Large aluminum and glass sliding plans seal this concrete core and allow cross ventilation and natural lighting, as well as visually connecting it with the rest of the house.
