Textual content description offered by the architects. The redevelopment challenge of the Ex Workplace Tosi, generated with the intent of preserving the historical past behind them, trough the addition of recent, seen stratifications of your entire constructing. The unique model of the constructing has in reality be maintained each within the exterior faces of the constructing, which have been absolutely coated by uncovered bricks, and the inside areas, during which the lofts and the vintage vaults are integral components of the home, which attribute a specific worth to the inside areas. The stratification of the up to date challenge is clearly evident from all the extra components and modifications which were made to the ageing constructing, primarily within the superelevation and within the completely different openings. The brand new components nevertheless have a particular attribute: the utilization of the identical color scheme, which contrasts the fashionable contact with the vintage components that remained contained in the constructing.
The brand new superelevation had been realised due to the utilization of recent and light-weight up to date supplies, which created a very fascinating distinction with the standard vintage supplies of the constructing, attributable to the truth that as an alternative of being eliminated, have been recovered and re-established, within the decrease flooring. The superelevation’ construction has been realised due to the utilization of x-lam wood panels, purposely seen within the inside floor and coated with darkish steel sheet. The architectural decisions are equally seen within the window’s intradoses, on the lateral views, as home windows have been enlarged each in peak, as a way to assure a greater and extra environment friendly lighting, and in the primary face’s giant openings, which supply a view on Formigine’s metropolis centre and a type of opening of the constructing in direction of the outside setting.
The architectural challenge has been guided by focused technical decisions, which enabled the seismic retrofitting and the excessive ranges of energetic efficiency inside the construction. The foundations of the home have in reality been bolstered and metal hoops have been insert. Moreover, an amplification within the superelevation, utilizing gentle structural components, has been realised. The energetic enchancment, has been obtained by the selection of isolating your entire constructing, from the inside half, utilizing thermal-reflecting supplies and mineral wool.
Within the Ex Workplace Tosi, pure options change into a necessary architectural aspect, with a particular worth inside the challenge. The vegetation are accordingly positioned on the primary face of the constructing, as their primary intention is to spin the solar-rays coming from South-West and to create a type of visible and noise barrier between the road and the constructing.
To conclude, every motion of the challenge, efficiently displays the double intention of enhancing each the dwelling and practical situations inside the constructing, whereas preserving his historic roots. This technique, factors due to this fact at making the unique constructing stand out, whereas contrasting it with the up to date historical past. This advanced antithesis seems to be extraordinarily harmonious, because it completely manages to focus on and improve what we already personal, what’s our previous and our tradition.
