“THE HUT ... “- Reuse a production building

for residential purpose.

The building, built in the early ‘900’s as a

production facility for processing tobacco

leafs, is characterized by a compact volume

with large distinctive symmetrical openings.

The artifact is spread over two floors with a

rectangular floor plan and is characterized by

two large voids.

The intervention leaves intact the original

space by placing service facilities within

modules to divide the rooms, conceived

as elements of furniture, detached from

the ceiling and arranged in a spectacular

sequence without interrupting the visual

perception of the whole project.

The restoration was carried out following the

green building criteria, placing special care

in accurate detail, in the lighting aspects

and design of the functional elements.

The project is completed with the realization

of a technological pavilion, overlying a

basement used for service facilities, covered

with photovoltaic and solar panels integrated

into the roof, which relates to the main

building through open air living area.
