Piero Vidoni - Inside Out

Inside out

By Piero Vidoni

The building face the main square of the new development. As a consequence, the main quality is the view to the surrounding. From the beginning, I thought that it was limitating to frame the view with a normal window.

From a conventional residential volume, I add some appendages in order to increase the surface exposed to the elements an to the external world.

This area become the main center of each unit, the space in with the inhabitant spend the most of his time, being totally immersed to the exterior but with the thermal comfort of a new generation apartment.

Update center The experience of the outside is reflected also in the southern facade, where at a lower level, glass baubles allow a total 180° view, immerging the owner to a unique experience in the daily life.

We can divide the building in four different layers. The facade, the main living area. The main core, where the most private activities happens. Distribution system, a gallery shared for six units. The interior court facade, an hexagonal constructive system to increase the quality of the interior courtyard.

The units are exposed to just one side, that’s the main area of each apartment. In order to increase the privacy of every tenant, some apartments develop in more levels. In this way every unit have a different high and the visual connection between tenants is obstructed by this gap.
