In Casa Cruda, two levels are clearly distinguished: a renewed base (with floors and walls clad) and an upper part that remains bare, authentic, and untouched. In this way, a single continuous space brings together the new and the existing, the technical and the handcrafted, the repaired and the preserved; a synthesis between past and present that allows time to be inhabited in all its layers. Hiperfocal Hiperfocal Casa Cruda repairs a 1960s neighborhood house through a minimal and precise intervention. The project reflects on the legacy of traditional and anonymous typologies, and their connection to contemporary architecture. Rather than transforming, it refines and reactivates what already exists, turning built memory into the... More

The project involves the renovation of a terraced single-family house located in a relatively urban and dense context, although it benefits from an open public space at the front façade.

Strategically located in an area that connects the original house with the garden, this gallery acts as a transition space between indoors and... More

The GC house is a revamped residence from the seventies with a three objective strategy: efficient redistribution of space, creating a soothing atmosphere, and prioritizing permeability to benefit from its surroundings. JAIME NAVARRO Its original layout, intricate and with an outdated program, was revitalized by freeing the space from the columns and walls that subdivided it. The tour through the house goes from narrow to open, evoking the levels of privacy. The redesign aims to dissolve the limits between inside and outside, with glass doors along the façade that slide to provide a flow of space. The dining room is transformed into a covered terrace with a direct connection to the garden and barbecue area with the slide of a c... More

A 1950s residence, surrounded by a park in San Siro district, is the context of this renovation. Located on the edge of the urban fabric of Milan, the complex reflects the urbanity of the city and the vastness of the rural spaces.  To echo the stadium and its raw tectonics, the building reveals its concrete structure on the ground floor, which is however denied inside the apartments, under layers of masonry and plaster. To make the building's structure resurface immediately seemed like an idea capable of giving a specific identity to the space, in an intervention, where the desire was to join two separate apartments.  simone bossi simone bossi The large space of the living room is freed up and becomes the opportun...
