TOWNHOUSE

D e s i g n e d b y Tu r e t t C o l l a b o r a t i v e A r c h i t e c t s Upper West Side, New York City, NY - 2013, Spring Renovation - Worked on SD, DD and CD phases. A l l t h e d o c u m e n t s r e g a rd t h i s p ro j e c t a r e t h e p ro p e r t y o f Tu r e t t C o l l a b o rat i v e A r c h i t e c t s .

The project is a full renovation of a beautiful townhouse in the Upper West Side in a historic district. The design features a large kitchen, dining area and living room at the ground floor facing the backyard garden. In the rear facade we tried to preserve the existing structure but at the garden level and the first floor we inserted a double height window that connect the interior of the house with patio outside. At the first floor there is a studio in the front and a lounge area overhanging the space below. The two upper floors are bedrooms with a spa area and walk-in closet and dressing room for the master bedroom. The roof has been improved with a roof terrace consisting of new pavers and custom wood planters. In the cellar, beside mechanical and utility rooms, is located a full gym with an entertainment area, which features a skylight to have access to natural light. An important feature of the project is the custom stair element that is created by laser cutting, bending, and powder coating steel plates then installing wooden treads. Risers and the landing structures hold the glass railing in slots. Special attention was dedicated to materials. Clients asked for a sophisticated environment but also as much natural feeling as possible. Our answer to this request was a mix of existing materials in the townhouse, like exposed bricks and existing wood joists and new materials like bark panels, natural stone and glass for a light, interesting and natural environments.

Lower East Side, New York City, NY - 2014, Winter Interior renovation - Schematic Design

The chef-owner Amanda Cohen decided to move her vegetarian restaurant from East Village to a bigger space in the Lower East Side. She asked Turett Collaborative Architects to design a new restaurant where the concept of Dirt Candy can be gradually mixed, in the new space, with the strong identity of the L.E.S. Through the wide glass storefront starts the interaction between the streetscape and the Dirt Candy space. The existing space is basically divided in two main parts with the first one towards the front with higher ceiling heights and framed with exposed metal I-beams and a second space towards the back, more intimate and divided from the front space by a huge structural beam. The existing organization helps to divide the space in one more social, active and cheerful and the second more intimate, relaxed and quiet. The main feature in the new space is a central stage with an open kitchen where Ms. Cohen can cook and have a direct contact with her customers

POST QUAKE V I S I O N Crevalcore, Emilia-Romagna, Italy - 2013 Fall Young Architects Competition

THE NEW THRESHOLD Natural disasters, like earthquakes, are certainly a shock for people. How can one overcome it without forgetting? Moreover, can historic buildings be reused without demolishing them? Can they assume a new profile, a new functions? Can these functions revitalize the historical city center, giving a future to these places? All of these questions generate the concept for our project which is based on three diﬀerent steps. These are both an architectural elements and a psychological functions: Protect what is left With a light structure we can protect and support surviving architectural elements of existing buildings. This is the memory, this is what people want and need to see in order to remember what was and what happened. Moreover, we are able to keep Crevalcore ancient urban fabric that it is perfectly-preserved. A moment to remember With this new structure, a new “threshold” is created, in this space we would give a moment to everybody to remember what was before. The porch becomes a transition between the "old" and the "new" life (new building and functions). This new threshold also becomes a lot of diﬀerent urban furniture that increase its social function. A new life The new building is inserted in what is left from the ancient building without touching it or modify the structure. It is composed of light structure so the space can change depending on future needs. A new urban garden The vegetation is also important in this concept: bringing green areas into the historical fabric can be used as a filter between old elements and new additions.

Seoul, Korea - 2012, Spring New Building A l l t h e d o c u m e n t s r e g a rd t h i s p ro j e c t a r e t h e p ro p e r t y o f S s D A r c h i t e c t s .

This project challenges the issues of urban density and housing costs. Seoul is a very dense city and apartments have become increasingly smaller, but we had the opportunity to design a different typology that extends the limits of the housing unit that also include semi-public circulation and balconies. In this very complex environment, we design a residential building with 14 apartments for artists. We designed all the apartments with a “tapioca space” around. Each private space floats inside a flexible space. The distinction between inside and outside is blurred, the social interaction changes, and this is the new way of living. Each apartment is optimized in terms of space. The folding bed is hidden in the closet and the shower can function as a little garden. Voids, from first floor to the top, separate the different apartments and provide at least 3 exposures for every units. Moreover, across the voids, there are many connections with different functions like shared dining area, garden and balconies. At the ground floor the zoning regulations requires the building to be lifted for parking, this space is also used to allow pedestrians to interact with the building residents in the auditoriumlike steps and the exhibition and cafe spaces at the underground level.

studio, Politecnico of Milan Borsotti - Spring 2007

The task of the exercise is to re-design the interior space of a disused industrial building to create a living and working spaces for a professional. The concept is to contain the working spaces in some modules (300 cm x 300 cm x 400 cm) with specific formal characteristics that allow to easily identify the public/working spaces from the private areas but also to keep them connected. Different spaces with specific degrees of intimacy and use are created by composing the modules: connecting two modules is created a meeting room, in two single modules are located the reception and an office; on the roof of the reception there is a relax area accessible from the conference room. The owner’s office is the only one that is oriented vertically, with 400 cm ceiling height. The living spaces are obtained from the remaining spaces: living room, kitchen, pantry and a bathroom at the ground floor. At the second floor a big library divides the owner’s office from the stair to the third floor where there is the sleeping area. The materials used for all the modules are wood and glass. Two surfaces are made by wood, equipped with shelves, tables and closets. These sometimes become floor and ceiling. The other four are glass, in order to make possible the interaction between all the spaces.

Eco-friendly, self-suďŹ&#x192;cient, cheap, easy and fast to assembly these are the keywords for the project, In response to the demands of the competition for a mountain shelter, a replacement for an existing obsolete one, along transit routes, at an altitude of about 2500 m/slm. This project is the relationship between the real mountain feeling and the essential living space, without comforts more than necessary. It is aimed at hikers and explorers and the unit is an eco-friendly and sustainable living cell proposing as an alternative model to the consumerist mode. A used container is the fundamental element of the project. It permits an easy transport by helicopter in site and it constitutes the structural part of the unit. All other materials are recycled to achieve a high level of sustainability and give to materials a second life. Outside the red steel mesh that wraps the whole shelter makes the small building to be visible and easy to identify. Although there are musses and lichens that can grow on walls so it can be integrated with the environment around. Inside there are minimal spaces, but there is a careful attention for details. For example, the folding beds are made with recycled truck tarpaulin to permit to have more space in the sleeping area and can be pulled out more beds when it is needed. Furthermore the shelter is completely self-suďŹ&#x192;cient thanks to some technical details such as rainwater recycling system, solar panels system, solar thermal and biological control toilet system.

Sustainability is a relevant matter but it is always treated in a partial way, most of the times not considering the building materials aspect of it. The reduction of waste, the conscious use of material and the extension of material’s life are crucial matters, often forgotten. Waste can become building materials with equal eﬃciency compared to new materials but with less energy consumption for their production and a very low cost for raw material supply. In architecture there are alternatives to traditional materials or components: recycled materials. They provide us a chance that can’t be refused. They allow us to save non-renewable raw materials and to limit the production of waste, which, in Europe are produced by the construction sector with a rate of 40%. Nowadays, recycled materials are used just in few examples all over Europe.

Recycled materials in architecture is the main subject of my master degree thesis, that was expanded on and analyzed from diﬀerent points of views. First of all I explained, through the fundamental steps, the evolution of the concept of sustainability. Then the concept of waste, that it is an important aspect in the construction industry, especially to understand that we all need to “close the circle”. That means, not only trying to extend the life of materials, but also try to transform waste into new materials to use in the construction field. After this introduction I collected European and Italian normative references. With the same area of research I analyzed some statistic data, to understand the size of the problem of waste and in particular of construction and demolition waste in Europe and Italy in specific, that nowadays it is becoming an important issue and it needs to find some solutions. For this reason I explain better what we consider Construction and Demolition waste (CDW) and from what they are composed. To be able to analyze this problem from its roots I also analyzed and described the construction process from the beginning and its environmental eﬀects. The most common way to calculate it is the Life Cycle Assessment. All these to

understand that there are two main phases in the construction process where it is possible to carry out some sustainability decisions in term of control of the use of materials: the design phase where one should consider the design of disassembly; and the demolition phase where one can adopt the selective demolition at the end of the building’s life to save and recycle as much materials as possible. Furthermore I explained the diﬀerence between reuse and recycle to collect all the possible aspects of these two processes. At last I researched and selected, on the market, construction products and components made by 100% recycled materials and 100% recyclable and I compared them with just as many traditional materials in term of performance and price. The results were very interesting and it showed that there is an alternative to traditional construction materials. So I investigate why recycled materials are not used in new architectural project. Through interviews to materials manufacturer, recycled materials association representatives and construction association representatives, I understood which are limits and prejudices about recycled materials in architecture.

‘SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT is the kind of development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. ’
