“Remnant” is an architectural studio project that aims to give credence to the Meridiana building, situated inside the grounds of Villa Arconati alongside Castellazzo di Bollate, fronting the Borgo quarters on one side and the Cider court on the other. These set of building have hosted differents typologies of functions and are entirely representative of their own single architecture style. The fundamental point of this project is a creation of a bold contrast between the old and the new.

The project is based on a process of, due subtraction, exposure and addition, guided us in the creation of an intervention strategy that could be as versatile as it is respectful to the existing site and surroundings. The functional activation process of the Meridiana was developed in conjunction with an aesthetic characterization linked to the re-development and re-use of the current structure both from a functional and aesthetic point of view.
