The Public House orchestrates a journey by harmonizing the private and public realm, the palazzo and villa typology, as well as the garden and streetscape of Genoa. To continue the evolution of the palazzo and villa, we took the function of the palazzo and expanded it horizontally to be absorbed by the garden and tranformed the singular palazzo into compartmentalized buildings with dedicated programs.

The layout consists of five buildings surrounding a centralized plazza, designed to transition between Genoa’s garden chain and the urban grid of plazza Colombo. the expanded organization of the site invites users to journey throughout each compartmentalized building through the central plazza.
