VR1
Via Rovello 1, Milan
In Spring 2019 we were appointed to take care of the reconfiguration of the entrance spaces of this building in the center of Milan.The project works on the spatial re-stitching of the parts that compose it: on one side the original entrance hall and the new atrium, on the other the façade on Via Rovello and the internal courtyard.The difference in scale between the parts was resolved by introducing a wooden coffered panel, with a deliberately abstract image, strategically positioned to crown the original entrance hall, reducing its height.The image of this object, intentionally respectful of the historical context, is, on the one hand, enriched by the design of the joint which reveals its wooden soul at the intersection between the beams and, on the other, emphasized by the new ceiling lighting fixtures whose light underlines the mass of the coffered ceiling and accompanies the transition from the outside to the inside.



The project ends on the street front with the design of the new lanterns whose deliberately soft stem recalls the Art Nouveau character of the building and whose presence underlines the axis of penetration from the street.



The brass plates protecting the door and supporting the intercom are a corollary to the intervention.
