CONDITIONS: The program plans to set a clothing showroom, with an inclination to host contemporary art exhibition, inside an anonymous warehouse of the 70’s located in the outskirts of Verona, counting on an absolutely limited budget. It’s necessary to gain more rooms for the different activities out of a whole, stereometric, double height space, perimetered by a high ribbon window. Outside, the warehouse is placed inside a good quality urban scene, with a wide view which opens to east.
DEVICES: A light and permeable separation, made of nonwoven fabric used in agriculture, constitutes the structure for the different rooms. A black glass window establish the relation between inside and outside, softening the interior light, while signaling to the outside the singularity of the realized space. The grey paint used for the whole interior space, is applied equally to the external façades, dematerializing the anonymous prospects of the existing building. Furniture are entirely made with stacks of white painted, recovered wooden beams. The tables, made of metal sheets treated with acid, host the working stations. The industrial-like air conditioning system reacts with the lightness of the fabric walls, creating a continuous soft movement which emphasize the dynamism of the space.
