Luzzatti Home Refurbishment by Balance Architettura

The introduced undertaking is the outcome of a refurbishment of a solitary-loved ones household making in a residential location of the city center of Cuneo (North of Italy). The property is a mansion of the Italian typology called “dei Ferrovieri”, which starting up in 1908, the State Railways Social Stability, commenced to populate Italy and the areas adjacent to the historic centers through this developing campaign, Then, subsequently, all these properties have been incorporated in the city tissue. The making in question is from 1921, it is a preserved and bound residence by the Committee of Architectural Heritage which safeguards its facades and external overall look. It is, therefore, to be regarded an inside design and style intervention.

The very first choice we took and wanted to keep on being adherent to from the starting was the upkeep of the roof structure. It was an critical issue for us. We wished to continue to keep the interior spirit of the time, preserving the genuine wood beams. Their look is an essential portion of the structure areas, and their artisanal affirmation would be really hard to be replicated with recently made beams.

The modern element is offered by the quite dim coloring which provides a particular atmosphere and generates an alteration of the habitual notion of the ceiling. We have been also interested in the appearance of the unfinished finishings. For two reasons, the initially is to retain the historic memory of the dwelling, the next motive is that we imagine the un-completed specifics transfer an reliable, real, and more hospitable sense. There are parts of the existing wall which are on sight, parts with even the first 1920s wallpaper, and portions of the wall with classic bricks only painted with white grout.

The staircase is a sheet metallic aspect micro-perforated, it is an item that worries gravity, and will work on transparency. e It stands up many thanks to its form and its material’s houses, it only has lateral guidance and consequently it is really sound. Parallel to the structural facets, there are home furnishings and outfitting, which categorical our way of coming up with. The objects, designed by us, merge with the rest of the creating. The kitchen area, the bogs, and some storage walls are in birch and they are in harmony with the materials made use of for other portions of the dwelling.
