The villa is located in Termoli (CB), Italy. The building is two floors (ground floor and first floor) plus attic and is accessed by a front driveway. The building is part of a complex of unlawful buildings developed in two phases in the sixties and seventies. The villa, which has substantial gaps in terms of habitability and aesthetics, needed renovations to correct the distribution character of interior spaces and to improve their formal aspect.
The project, which provided for equal work for both plans, would consist of the addition of a bathroom and, thanks to an extension of the floor area, re-design of distribution functions.
Following the closure of two east loggias – through ribbon windows – it was possible to obtain a new room, the kitchen.
Two distinct areas, divided by the bearing wall of the house, were created by demolition and reconstruction of non-load bearing masonry walls: the living area to the south, the sleeping area to the north.
The villa, which showed a spontaneous, anonymous and without architectural value, has been the subject of a formal recovery. The statements have been characterized by architectural applications of a ephemeral nature, non-invasive and reversible, performing the dual function of the parapet and support the system of climbing plants that "invade" the existing structures.
It was also planned redesign of the system of openings (before completely random) of the four facades. The scanning aperture was reorganized modularly, by creating openings in height – vertical band – all while making a considerable improvement in relations aero-illuminating than the status quo. The openings to the south and west were also equipped with a close and continuous balconies of service that have made changes to the relevant areas of the complex. Read Less
