Best Realized Project
Extension of an existing building integrated into the transformation, the project is located in a typical commercial street in the province of Brescia.

Its volumetric massiveness, emphasized by the surfaces of brick, is counterpointed by the lightness of recessed perforations and the decomposition of walls. A projecting roof of black steel extends as a beckoning gesture towards the street.
