Brief description of the project:
CONTEXT AND STATUS:
The building to be redeveloped is located within the historic urban fabric of the municipality of Maranello (MO). It presents the typical formal characters of residential architecture of the 1950s and 1960s, in particular a frontal basement in travertine that frames the storefronts located on the ground floor.
DESIGN and ARTISTIC DIRECTION:
The intervention involves the application of an EPS thermal insulation coat over the entire dispersing surface of the building. The first design choice was to provide for the preservation of the travertine basement of the front.
Subsequently, the focal point of the project became the interface to be resolved between two materials having diametrically opposed characteristics.
The stone of the plinth and the plastered EPS of the elevation had to interface through a pivotal element, a line that was at the same time of union and disjunction between two pieces of the façade so different with particular attention to the corner solution that provided a small lapel of the stone cladding on the side fronts of the building.
The solution adopted involves the use of a metal tube with a concave-hollow section that connects the thickness of the stone cladding to that of the EPS, contouring the stone frame around its entire perimeter. At the ends, the metal frame terminates with a metal plate slightly detached from a travertine base and aligned both with the nearest ground line of the cladding and with a groove made in the thermal coat at the same elevation that divides the base of the building from the elevation on the other faces.
