The baseline of the project was the link with the surroundings and the pre-existence
Preexistence reinterpreted. Combination of tradition and contemporaneity
An old farmhouse that has been abandoned, in the historical centre of Cividade del Piano, in the province of Bergamo has been renovated by Zupelli Design Architettura into a private home called "Casa Donella"
In fact, the architecture follows the guidelines of the existing building, outlining some traditional elements: pitched roof, exposed beams, portico
In any case, there is no lack of contemporary elements, the contrast is clearly visible in the front elevation
If the ground floor has large arched glass openings, evoking the classical tradition, the upper levels are characterized by a large window that runs on two floors
In the project, the continuity between exterior and interior is significant: on the ground floor, thanks to the large glass arches, there is no visual limit between the interior space and the courtyard, which is incorporated into the house
The same applies to the living area on the first floor and the sleeping area on the second, where the large glass surfaces that characterize the building contrast with the darkness of the interiors
Thanks to this project, the city centre has been enriched with a new architectural masterpiece, in perfect harmony with its surroundings
