RITRATTIinterior/furniture design projectcollaboration with Stefano Contini2012

Ritratti is a small women's clothing shop lo-cated in Sondrio, northern italy. The task was to give the shop a fresh new look and to cre-ate a new room in what previously was the stockroom.The project takes advantage of the stockro-om height to build a mezzanine that was pre-viously missing. Hence the ability to still have a private stocking space on the upper floor, while giving the bottom floor space back to the shop. The entire furniture is made of birch wood; tabletops, which are old chalet doors coverd in epoxy resin, are the only exception.

VHOM - Vienna House of Musiccompetition & master's degree projectPolitecnico di Milano2011

VHOM is the project for a new House of Music located in Vienna inside the Stadtpark, the competition program asked to focus on the design of a music school, a bar-re-staurant, a concert hall and an exhibition space.The solution was to design 3 different buildings over-ground that are connected together as one by an under-ground piazza.The piazza works as exhibition space where the music played in the school rooms and in the concert hall is play-ed back through a system of speakers hidden in cans han-ging from the ceiling that remember of the telephone kids used to make with cans and wire.

KOSHO - build your own sukkah!competition - Sukkah City: NYC 2010Studiometrico - Milano2010

KOSHO is a kosher project I realized during my internship at Studiometrico, this project was done to participate to the Sukkah City: NYC 2010 competition.A sukkah is an ephemeral shelter built by jewish people during the period of Sukkot.This kind of construction has to follow many religious requirements to be considered kosher, these require-ments go from minimum and maximum sizes to the ma-terials used to build it, moreover it should be reasonably lightweight, easy to build, disassemble, transport and bu-ild again in a new location.In order to meet al the requirements the project started as an architecture-DIY project, thus, after having desig-ned KOSHO in detail, we proceeded building its full 1:1 sca-le prototype to verify its qualities and its effective ease of building.The final result of this process was the draft of a building instruction manual to let everyone interested build their own KOSHO.

Operations

Step 1Mark the wooden planks from 1 to 10, locate the exact position on the planks ends and drill holes with a driller.

Step 2Slot planks from 1 to 9 into the 1/2” threaded rod, place a 1/2” washer and a 1/2” nuts on each end of the rod.

Step 3Spread out the joined planks and connect plank 10 with planks 8 and 9 with 3/8” bolts, nuts and washers.

Step 4Carefully position planks from 1 to 7 along plank 10, mark with a pencil their excess portions.

Step 5Dismantle everything and cut the excess portions of planks from 1 to 7 with a miter saw.

Step 6Now that you have the 10 planks templates, you are ready to build the six triangles you need. If you need to transport your KOSHO and install it somewhere else leave the 6 sets closed in bundles, if you are already working in your garden spread out the joined planks, re-position planks from 1 to 7 and screw them on planks 10.

Step 7Lay down your 6 triangles, position the hinges along planks 8 and 9 of each triangle and �x them with 1/4” screws and 1/4” threaded inserts for wood.

Step 8Once you have completed the �rst 7steps and laid out your KOSHO on the �oor as in the unfolded plan, you are ready to go! You might need some ropes to prop the structure as you fold up and join together the di�erent faces of the polyhedron. A ladder is necessary only if you are less than 6 � tall.

Step 9Once your KOSHO is properly assembled and fastened you should be able to roll it on the ground to reach the exact position to enjoy it.

TOKYO FASHION MUSEUMcompetitionwith Pelle Beckman and Camille PinceminKungliga Tekniska Högskolan - Stockholm2010

The project brief asked the participants to design a vertical fashion museum for Tokyo, the building nee-ded to be 100 meter tall and to have a terrace for catwalks and events.The solution adopted is to break the building in 2 very different parts by locating the terrace at the roof height of the surrounding buildings, the part below the terrace has similar materials to the surrounding buil-dings while the rest of the skyscraper becomes a big glass case filled with dresses hanging from the ceilings through which the visitors can freely flow.

STILT-BARarchitecture design lab: 1st yearPolitecnico di Milano2006

Stilt-bar is a small building containing a restaurant-bar for tourists and it is located in a car free area between a bicycle lane and the side of the Varese lake. The building is a spiral shaped slant walking path where one can walk from the lakeside to the roof of the building.The long sides of the building have glass facades covered by thin timber sunshades, while two main windows are let totally free and transform the building into a pair of binoculars that let the visitors enjoy the view of the lake.

QUADROcompetitionpersonal project2012
