Renovation of a Nineteenth Century “Palazzetto”: before and after!
The
building, renovated by Officina29
Architetti,
is a “palazzetto” dating back to the second half of the
nineteenth century, situated
in the historical center in a town in Sardinia.
The
project took into account the strong historical and architectural
connotation of the building: the clear division of the spaces was
maintained as before, though mending those areas in order to put them
in communication and to increase the perception of the space.

The
new openings in
the existing walls, with rectangular and circular cuts, are elements
with a strong
contemporary character and are visibly opposed to the existing ones,
valuing them, and it results in a better usability and functionality
of the house.

On
the top floor, however, it was possible to work more, given the
conditions in which the attic was. The original floor has been
maintained and restored and four rooms have been created: a
contemporary kitchen overlooking the terrace, a gym with bath and
sauna, a relax area and a guest room.

The
approach taken towards the preexistences is based on a contrast of
strong contemporary materials in order to make the evolution evident,
between what
it was and what it is now.
This way it is
possible to find the original terracotta flooring in the kitchen,
blackened and lived, next to a resin floor on the gym area; the
wooden and iron door has been recovered from the attic and put back
in its place, with the circular hole in the bearing wall, openly
contemporary.
