In northern Italy, on the hills of Bergamo, at Trescore, stands a contemporary private residence surrounded by nature, the result of a project by architect Michele Rubbi.
The geometries of textured volumes intersect to define the structure of this residence that is configured through horizontal and vertical lines; spaces interpenetrate one other and develop following the oblique stretches, diagonal cuts and sharp edges that lend dynamism to the whole, generating cantilever volumes.
The intervention stems from the need to equip the current nursery school of the Municipality of Roverbella with an artifact, replacing the ancient already present in the vicinity, dedicated to the hospitality and care of early childhood, for the range from 0 to 3 years. The Asilo Nido “Gli Elfi” proposal has tried, in the economic balance sheet of the parties, to organize the spaces for a Nest that correspond to a capacity of at least 2 sections, commensurate in turn to be suitable to accommodate 30 children.
CIVILIVN transformed a former embassy in Palazzo Capizucchi—a 16th-century ecclesiastical residence in the heart of Rome—into a new academic center for the Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE). The renovated space now serves as the CIEE Global Institute in Rome, helping advance the nonprofit’s mission of providing meaningful study-abroad experiences that prepare students to live in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse world. CIVILIVN was involved in all stages of the renovation, supporting project management firm DBI with the initial property search and leading the project from the space planning phase through concept development and execution.
Salvatore Massone’s architectural firm signs the project CaBarET, a new pastry bistro located in the Isola Garibaldi neighborhood in Milan.
The project focuses on a careful study of space and its valorization through heterogeneous architectural and furniture elements with a specific formal and functional identity.
As in the case of a tray of diverse pastries, the so-called cabaret, these elements are held all together within the 100sqm area by the pattern of the floor and its projection on the ceiling. The red resin, combined with dark base marble grit, distinguishes the working area from the area for the public. Similarly, the red resin ceiling and the dark joists exploit two different types of light: a more technical and precise one above the operational area and a more diffused and mood lighting over the tables to illuminate the two distinct sectors of the bistrot.
In an old Tuscan farmhouse there is a residential space renovated with all comforts of a modern house. Light and lightness are the two key words that have accompanied us in the design of this residential space.
The concept idea wants to tell the elements of tradition in a new vision, the wise balance between tradition and contemporary, between light and darkness, between shadow and brightness. Materials with natural finishes and mirror polished surfaces alternate in a dynamic equilibrium, full of contrasts and nuances.
Lungiarü is a quaint mountain village perched under the scenic Puez plateau in the Italian Dolomites. The native ladino speaking village adopted a sustainable tourism-growth model over the years and is now rewarded with many visitors to its historic centre and barns from both nearby valleys and afar. As a result, interventions to its core buildings are rare and carefully consulted with the various stakeholders of the local community in order to strike a good balance of conserving the village typology on one hand but at the same time providing contemporary service facilities.
The restoration of the bowling club of Luzzara, a small town in the lowland of Reggio Emilia along the banks of the river Po, is the opportunity to upgrade a place with a strong symbolic value. Place of leisure and meeting, the hall has been an Arci office and a bowling center for the last forty years; it has been dragged to the present day without being modified.
Now the new will of the Local Government and the little use have given impetus to its renovation.
Upgrading and renewal through the application of new ‘skins’ (textures), the first light and acoustic for the interiors, the second metallic in the front and the third artistic: a mural painting with the landscape and the typical flora and fauna of the river Po, that flows calm a few meters away from there.
