Residential complex in Massa-Carrara. Light and geometries design a new and dynamic façade

Pierattelli architectures explores the façades of a residential building, made of overhangs, recesses and splays, converting two buildings built at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s for residential use, redefining the existing volumes

The complex originally used for accommodation had remained in a state of dereliction. The renovation project involved the redefining of the elevations and the restructuring of the interior spaces, which made it possible to create 10 private flats, ranging from 70 to 140 square metres

In order to guarantee a view of the coastline for each flat, the overlooks have been rotated while optimizing the thermal efficiency of the building at the same time. Thanks to the façade splay, the relative brightness is increased, offering more privacy to the flats

The side facades have non-orthogonal openings, offering privileged views of the sea. Internally the spaces are divided into two and three rooms with terraces, while the ground floor flats have direct access to the garden at the back of the building, enjoying intimate and sheltered spaces
