Given the project’s distinct tourism-oriented character—situated along the city’s main commercial artery—a key design feature involves the use of projecting elements to extend both residential and commercial spaces.
Taking into account the building's massing and its context, two distinct architectural solutions were adopted based on height: the loggia—a more private, inward-looking space—serves the lower floors, while the terrace—conceived as an outdoor living area—characterizes the upper levels.
The base defining the first two commercial floors is distinguished by a metal façade cladding featuring vertical ribs that continue upward to form the balustrades on the upper floors. The compact volume of the north elevation, punctuated by bedroom and bathroom windows, gives way to large glazed areas in the south-facing living spaces, which look out toward the sea. Terraces designed in this manner are also—exceptionally—located on the north side of the uppermost floors, offering views of the Venetian Lagoon. As the building’s large terrace surfaces are highly visible to pedestrians, the undersides of the cantilevered floor slabs have been clad in wooden slats.
