PROCESS

A place full of history and a true immersive experience. The building was used by the army as refrigerator during the Second World War.

A real jewel in the centre of the city, to preserve and celebrate as a new city hub.

The project preserved the existing facades overlooking Piazza Francesco Virginio. The existing walls are maintained and cleaned and a new panoramic level has been designed developing a skin of  frosted glass bricks.

The conscious approach is also visible inside the building. The new added steel structure is completely detached from the original walls as independent architectural feature designed to solve the structural issues of the existing brick walls and define a contrast between old and new.
