The operations under this project configure extraordinary maintenance and external works, as well as the reorganization of the distribution of interior spaces, of a house in the province of Naples.
The property is in a state of complete decay. This is build on a rectangular shaped lot, whose long sides are in adjacency with the neighboring properties, while short sides are free and we find the access to the construction, precisely, on the southern one.
This construction occupies the front of the lot and consists of a mezzanine floor with an underlying basement, accessed through an external staircase, that is setted in the backyard.
The project aims to improve the functionality of these spaces.
At the mezzanine floor, which is accessed through an entrance, that is underlined by a hole in the side wall of the covered walkway, are the main rooms of the house: entrance hall, kitchen, living room, double room with walk-in closet and a toilet, bedroom-study and a second bathroom.
It seems clear the separation between sleeping and living area, that arises as a barrier between public and private, also mediating the relationship of the house with a courtyard garden, which is here interpreted as a space for outdoor living, where a covered area is equipped for lunch.
In the lower part, at the basement, a large recreational area with a games room and a tavern takes place.
