If any design could be split into beaty on one side and utility on the other, as now many of us so readily assume, it would be not akin to the organic life in us or around us, which most certainly has no such divisibility. Richard Neutra, 1954
MISSION Our well-being is deeply affected by the space we inhabit. From this concept arises our mission: to improve the quality of life through architecture. Whatever the scale of the project, our work starts from a deep understanding of our client’s needs. To satisfy these needs while adding the extra bonuses of good design is our goal. We aim to make buildings whose beauty is the result of a logical, scientific approach. Organisms where the structure, envelope and systems work together, offering the user physical and psychic well-being, reducing energy consumption, maintenance and work on site. We strive to design an urban environment where the old and the new coexist, enriching our cities, improving them, leaving them more beautiful and liveable.

It is rare to have tha chance to restore a great XX century house working four-handed with the original designer. Published in countless architecture magazines and books on seaside architecture, the villa sits on a plot of land blessed by God on the Sardinian shore, with a view embracing a pristine landscape of mediterranean shrubs and turqouise waters. It was built at the end of the seventies in an idiom of honest materials left exposed to the aggressive marine environment. We faced the challenge to adapt it to the needs of a new owner and update it technologically, without loosing its harsh, rugged beauty. New electrical and mechanical systems had to be integrated without being obtrusive.

The external iroko cladding was the component which most had suffered after thirty years under the sun, as well as part of the green roof. Both had to be remade. Inside, the original coconut fiber flooring was substituted with locally sourced cork. Bold colours were intoduced in the originally earth toned painting of the bedrooms concrete walls. The house was stripped to the bone and renewed in a record six months.

PD DD CD WM
The villas are part of a masterplan conceived by Ferdinando Fagnola in the seventies, deďŹ ned by semi-underground volumes in exposed concrete: geological objects attacked by green and natural elements. These units were not built as intended: they were domesticated and forced into an imagery of granite coverings and pastel colors, as in most coastal architecture of the tourist boom. We did restore the radical force of the original concept, while introducing a new organization and spatial ow, and custom designed interiors. The renovation of the surrounding private park targeted the drastic cut of water consumption for maintenance. The landscape design reduced turf grass, in favour of maintenancefree mediterranean scrub. The remaining turf, including the green roofs, has been planted with a last generation bermuda grass hybrid, extremely resistant in hot and dry weather conditions. As a consequence, a reduction of 70% in water consumption is expected. The garden is integrated by a new 25x4m pool, outdoor dining and conversation areas nestled in the trees, a children playground.

The composition of the single units revolves around a central small piazza and its olive tree. The only curved element among the hard edged volumes, a concrete wall supporting the villa on the highest spot, was painted in a bright hue of pink.
All the interiors were custom designed up to the selection of textiles. Each unit is distinguished with a specific range of materials: cork floors, made to measure furniture in birch plywood and coloured mosaic bathrooms for the children’s more informal rooms; cotton carpets, iroko wood furniture and golden stone bathrooms for the more elegant suites.

The beachfront property sits on an island were no running water nor electricity is available. The design is conceived to exploit the natural forces: the volume of the house is fragmented in several pavilions in order to allow the prevailing winds to freely cross the rooms, lightly screened by a permeable cladding of mangrove sticks. Seawater will be treated through a desalination system and efďŹ ciently converted into fresh water for domestic use, while electricity will be solar powered. Locally sourced, renewable mangrove wood is used as the main framing material, while iroko planks salvaged from an existing building bound for demolition will be used for ooring and outdoor decking.

The program includes 5 bedrooms with en suite bathroom; a gym/yoga area; several spaces for conversation, relax, dining and lounging; a service buidling with kitchen, laundry, storage and workshop; sleeping quarters for servants. The restauration of an existing colonial building is also part of the brief. The emphasis is on open air living in close contact with the nature. The public, convivial areas are all outdoor, organized in a system of terraces shaded by trees and lightweight canopies. This kind of Tarzan lifestyle is enhanced by the articulation of served and servant spaces in separate volumes connected by wooden bridges: the banal act of going to the toilet thus becomes an experience in itself when you exit your beedroom, cross the walkway suspended among tree branches and enter the bathroom...

HOUSES ON THE GOLF COURSE Garlenda [I] 2011 - 2012 240 sqm 200.000

FS
PD DD CD WM
The intervention requalified a mid sixties condo which was the first lot developed around the Garlenda Golf Club. The modern style of the condo is a world apart from the ligurian/ provencal style which was later adopted in the developement of the resort – eventually identifying with the place itself. The Piano Casa law allowed to extend some units, partially occupying roof terraces and porches. The new volumes are steel framed and clad with steel ribbon windows and adjustable aluminum louvres. The flat roofs protruding toward south are made out of sandwich panels typically used to cover industrial buildings. The height of the ribbon deck allowed to cover the whole area in a single span. In order to obtain the best compromise between comfort and operational economy the heating system combines linear air diffusers in the living quarters and radiators in the bedrooms. This allows to quickly warm the house in the random winter week-end visit. Interiors are of nautical concept, aiming at the maximum exploitation of the living area. Rooms are separated by wall cabinets and white or mirror sliding panels. The palette of materials is restrained: oak hardwood floors; white formica for kitchen and bathroom cabinets; basalt stone for countertops, fireplace, window sills and outdoor floors. The sofas, custom made in marine plywood, have bases organized in drawers and lockers and can double as night beds.

2 HOUSES ON THE BOARDWALK Alassio [I] 2006 70+50 sqm

PD DD CD WM
A 120 sqm flat facing the sea in one of Italy’s most wanted (and thus expensive) waterfront, Alassio, west Ligury. The brief was to split it in two for holiday use by a brother, living alone, and his sister, who have a family of three. And, of course, to completely make over the run down interiors. Our choice was for natural materials: wood, stone, and glass. It’s an house facing the beach, so our idea was to provide floors where it could be nice to walk barefoot. That’s why we selected teak treated with oil with a slate baseboard. Local split slate was also used for bathroom floors and showers. We wanted a light filled interior were to breathe the sea scent. That’s why we made generous use of pale water blue stained glazed surfaces for the kitchen units and cabinets. In order to better exploit the space they were custom designed, as most of the furniture (but the white Eames DSW chairs).

PAT. has applied concepts developed through a straw of award winning competition entries to the refurbishment, fitting and furnishing of a 300 m2 flat in a XVII sec. listed building in Piacenza. The historical shell of the building -its walls and painted vaulted roofs- have been restored, and a new continuous resilient floor unifies the space defined by a neutral cream tone. The new functional elements are defined by a striking contrast in the use of materials, which underlines the stratification of interventions allowing to intuitively discern the old from the new. Where needed, we introduced new mezzanines in exposed steel beams and metal decks without altering the readability of the original spaces, while other servant spaces -as the leather clad bathrooms- are contained in pods and treated as pieces of furniture rather than new rooms.

Laurel Canyon Boulevard

PAT. is going to marry its greatest passions in a new ambitious project hitting the ground in the legendary Laurel Canyon neighbour on Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills. A steep slice of rock on the top of Grandview drive, tucked in the middle between the spots where novelist Raymond Chandler and British bluesman John Mayall used to live, will be the unlikely fertile ground for a green home of the new generation. PAT., whose love for hardboiled literature and blues music is matched only by the passion for light and airy sustainable buildings, is designing a new uncompromising house for the hillside site, who sits on top of the hill which faces West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip. Flanked by local engineer Dimitri Vergun, who was responsible for the audacious structures of many celebrated LA homes from the likes of Pierre Koenig, Coop Himmelblau and Ed Niles, PAT. will cantilever from the rock a steel framed box. Floating above the canyon as a dirigible, the house will offer an immersion in the natural elements just a few minutes away from the excitement of the Sunset Strip. Capitalizing on PAT.’s trademark no-nonsense, modular, integrated approach to building design, the house will target LEED gold certification. The energy strategy will exploit the warm California sun and the site-specific Canyon breeze to efficiently control the home microclimate. A selective building envelope will optimize solar gain according to the different hours and season of the years. The silvery skin will change as a chameleon to adapt to the varying conditions, providing comfort and the exhilarating experience of ever changing light and balmy air. Expected to be completed in the spring of 2012, the house will welcome visitors in the classic Case Study fashion: fully furnished. Instead of featuring the canonical mid century modern pieces, PAT. will pay homage to its own country showcasing the best in modern and contemporary Italian furniture design. Upon completion, the home will open the doors to a summer of artists in residence. A tribute to Laurel Canyon lineage in the development of the arts, the house will host a series of time and site specific events and exhibitions.

Boasting the highest per capita income in Piedmont, Pino Torinese is nicknamed the Beverly Hills of Turin’s hills. It is a small village surronded by villas and housing compunds scattered in the green. Here we worked on a poor quality, mid century modern villa, nested in lush vegetation on the border of a park. The garden is steep and almost unusable for the openair living which such a setting would suggest. Being forced to get rid of the existing 2 slopes asbestos cement roof, we suggested to trade it for a flat one. A new steel frame bears a roof garden complete with pool, solarium, open air kitchen and shaded lunch area, which quickly became the heart of the project-and today of the life of the house.

The Naxos Beach Resort is a huge seaside hotel complex in Sicily, boasting views of Mount Etna. Ata Hotels wanted to revamp the property, redesiging the hall, adding a rooftop deck and mitigating the impact of the brutalist facades, whose ugliness -increased by the disorder of random AC units- was at odds with the beauty of the surroundings. Working for sister company Buonomo Veglia, who was in charge of a big renewal plan also including a 790 seat auditorium, PAT. developed a study for a new, 5 stories high glazed hall and a facade system. A filigree of horizontal wooden sticks is superimposed to the existing concrete frame. Besides dramatically improving the overall facade image, it works as brise soleil and as a trelly were vegetation can grow. The scheme was eventually discontinued due to budget cuts.

Two young families have left the city to live in a farm whose original core dates back to the ‘600. We did preserve the spirit of the original construction which expanded over the centuries, addition after addition. We re-used the granary, where a two floor house found place, and substituted the volume of an old barn with a new timber framed addition clad with pine planks. It encloses two new rooms, now serving a bed&breakfast business. The ground floor was rearranged as a restaurant. Although we envisioned a relaxing, white toned interior, we enjoyed seeing our scheme overturned by the flamboyance of one of the owner, a graduate from the Albertina Academy of fine Arts, who made wide display of his talents on the boldly decorated walls.

OTTICA GALLERY Torino [I] 2011 130 sqm € 70.000

PD DD CD WM
The inspiration for the small optical store named Ottica Gallery began with the site: a retail space within the Piazza Castello, one of Turin’s major historic arcades. The design firm’s first strategy was to brighten the storefront with bursts of colour to highlight the eyewear. They settled on using red, blue and green polyurethane boxes as pedestals, a detail that was inspired by the brightly hued sculptures of American minimalist artist John McCracken. Inside, the shop is illuminated with tracklighting installed on the barrel-vaulted ceiling. There are only a few pieces of furniture within the space, including custom tables and drawers in blacklacquered MDF with glass display tops, and wood-panel desks that complement the hardwood flooring. PAT Design kept most of original interior features, but brought things up-to-date by adding a few key contemporary elements, most notably, prestine white metal shelving that hang along one wall. Backlit, these punctured surfaces cast delicately stippled shadows that echo the grid-like pattern of the brick ceiling. Bright orange occasional chairs add a dash of colour, another ode to McCracken. Text courtesy David Dick Agnew, AZURE magazine © Tom Buzzi

PD DD CD WM
The design integrates structure, technologies and communication. Every element has both aesthetical and functional reasons. We wanted to create a brand experience on multiple layers, from the explicit to the subtle, in order to touch a deep emotional sphere. The pavilion character is dictated by the wooden structure, composed by a series of angle brackets which define both the roof and the background wall for the bar, creating a warm, cozy environment set apart from the airport frenzy. While spotlights of different intensity are concealed between the roof beams, pierced plexiglass sheets between the wooden posts create a rack for the beer bottles. The rack, not unlike those familiare in sophisticated wine bars, plays different roles: on an emotional standpoint it equates the beer to quality wine, on the functional level it conceal the back of the bar from passers-by and works as storage for a corner bar which has no backoffice. The other three side of the pavilion are transparent, only partially screened by bottle green glass sheets which support the roof,as in a castle of cards. The minimal design and scenic lighting delivers a contemporary, art gallery look which glorify the quality of the product, while the use of natural materials reinforce the perception of the unique charcter of the brand.

A beer venue in which you can see the world? Or a conceptual installation where you can enjoy a Pilsner? PAT. and Bellissmo made the two into one. With a bar conceived as an extra check-in at Venice airport, the italian doorway to Eastern Europe. To travelers the installation offered a boarding pass to the world of the most classic of all beers (and the best according to experts). At the core, Bohemia and its iconic brand: Pilsner Urquell, winner of countless awards, and first “Pils“ in the world. Carefully dodging romantic stereotypes, we brought back Czech atmospheres and geographic setting with photographs, documents, old industrial and texile patterns. We designed a wooden structure: a beer garden wrapped around its own inviting and cosy heart. We knew a simple taste of the quality of this Pilsner would speack louder than words. We just wanted to give it the staging it deserves. From Nulla è vero. A book about Bellissimo.

L’idea di museo come luogo di “accoglienza” oltre che di esposizione, quindi “luogo aperto alle più diverse fasce di pubblico”, componente attiva della socialità cittadina, distante dallo stereotipo di museo come luogo elitario e immobile che la museologia del passato ci ha consegnato, chiama in causa fattori più complessi rispetto alla “valorizzazione delle collezioni comunali d’arte nonché di Palazzo Pretorio”. Attività relative a mostre temporanee o eventi anche non direttamente correlati al museo quali la presentazione di un libro, dell’opera di un artista, le riunioni dei circoli cittadini, gli eventi privati, le conferenze e i convegni, ma anche la normale fruizione dei cittadini, necessitano di spazi e servizi flessibili, collegati da percorsi semplici ed efficienti, attualmente assenti o sottodimensionati e incompatibili con la configurazione distributiva attuale di Palazzo Pretorio. Le opere in esposizione nel Museo civico non necessitano di particolari artifici allestitivi: dalle monumentali pale d’altare, ai dipinti su tavola, alla popolazione di sculture del salone all’ultimo piano si origina una naturale, irriproducibile suggestione.

2 Tutte le opere, di qualsiasi epoca, dimensione, materia e peso, non sono né fissate né appoggiate alle pareti esistenti, sia per evitare punti di fissaggio sulla muratura, probabilmente inaffidabile, sia per evitare il contatto diretto delle opere con superfici non isolate termicamente. Seguendo l’ordinamento indicato si è creato un percorso ricco di fughe prospettiche e di simmetrie, centralmente alle quali si ono collocate le opere ritenute maggiori o maggiormente suggestive. La grande sala del terzo piano sarà il culmine del percorso ascensionale che attraversa le varie fasi cronologiche della vita culturale della città e, grazie agli scorci sempre più ampi sul paesaggio, ne svela il panorama. Sarà quindi l’ideale trampolino, fisico e metaforico, da cui la città si protenderà verso l’esterno per guardare verso orizzonti lontani. CULTURE . EDUCATION
A questo fine, la disponibilità all’interno della collezione civica di un nucleo di opere di Jacques Lipchitz sarà un’opportunità unica di collegamento con la cultura internazionale del ‘900. Le pareti bianche e l’abbondante luce naturale sono ideali per valorizzare le sculture e evocare l’impressione di trovarsi nello studio di un artista. Il centro della piattaforma sopraelevata è occupata dalle grandi opere di Bartolini. La rampa centrale prepara il visitatore alla visita del nucleo Lipchitz attraverso una serie di fotografie evocative della statura dell’artista e del suo legame con la Toscana. Nella parte inferiore della sala la visione delle sculture è integrata da un box al cui interno i disegni preparatori delle opere sono esposti in una vetrina lineare, una sorta di acquario in cui i disegni galleggiano. Elemento dominante della parete sud-ovest che fa da fondale alla sala è la ricostruzione della grande cancellata scultorea che dà accesso alla Roofless Church di Philip Johnson. Sulla base del disegno della cancellata tracciato sulla parete sono collocati i gessi preparatori presenti nella collezione del Civico.

PAT. Percorsa all’inverso la rampa, il visitatore esce attraversando la cella che ospita il nucleo pittorico dedicato all’ottocento e novecento pratese. Nella scelta dei materiali per gli interventi di allestimento si mira ad un approccio che consenta di leggere distintamente gli interventi contemporanei che si stratificano sul tessuto storico del palazzo, creando una presenza senza tempo, elegante e discreta, semplice e rarefatta, basata su toni neutri e materiali grezzi. Sono neri i volumi aggiunti, come il box che ospita la collezioni di disegni di Lipchitz nel salone dell’ultimo piano. Si tratta di un nero metallico, quello delle lastre di ferro naturale stabilizzato, che si propone di usare come materiale ricorrente anche per la quinta a tripla altezza che scherma le nuove scale, per i parapetti delle balconate interne, e per rivestire la torre dell’ascensore. L’allestimento prevede solo altri due materiali: l’acciaio dello scheletro dei moli e dei dissuasori, verniciato opaco, e l’intonachino di finitura dei pannelli espositivi, di tono neutro assonante con il contesto.

We designed a diagram of the functions and their envisioned sizes. We grouped them on the base of their affinity. We superimposed the diagram to the map of the site. The relationship of each group with the surroundings suggested its position in the space: workshops and art spaces facing north on the Canal, auditorium to the south, parallel to the row of houses, and the café open toward the park. From this simple diagram the project took shape. Instead of tying all the functions together, compacting them in a single building, we designed a group of pavilions and placed them around a central square. Instead of rooms inside a big building, we have small buildings whose scale resonate with the neighbouring urban tissue, and instead of a single building we have a piece of town. We covered this piece of town with a transparent, lightweight roof. Instead of having a single main entrance, as most public buildings do, you’ll enter the Community Arts Centre as you’ll enter any square: from all the roads leading to it. Come in, take your time, and enjoy! The organic, wavy form of the roof follows the different heights of the pavilions it covers and shield the central square from the rain. It is composed by an array of vaulted “shells” whose width matches that of the streets and buildings in the surroundings. Under the transparent roof you’ll find benches to rest, trees to provide shade, artworks to anticipate what you’ll find inside the pavilions. One side of the covered square is opened toward the park. Here the roof covers an open-air stage. The art gallery and the workshops host a big show. Their south façades are totally open, as if they were huge warehouse doors. Artworks spring out from the workshops and fill the central plaza.

Due sono i problemi principali per la ricollocazione della biblioteca e dell’archivio camerale all’interno degli spazi individuati nel palazzo Tobia Pallavicino. Il primo è costituito dall’esigenza di inserire funzioni tipiche e specialistiche quali quelle di una biblioteca di consultazione (e dei relativi impianti) all’interno di un edificio monumentale con elementi costruttivi di grande qualità artistica e storica e quindi “intoccabili”. Il secondo è dato dalla necessità e difficoltà di collegamento interno. La nuova struttura di collegamento verticale è costituita da una torre che parte dal piano fondi e arriva al terreno. Essa è costituita da tre anelli (o tubi) concentrici. Al centro è inserito un ascensore oleodinamico, adatto ai disabili, intorno al quale si sviluppa la scala. Il terzo anello (tubo) è costituito da un grande scaffale pieno di libri che avvolge completamente scala e ascensore facendo diventare la torre il simbolo della biblioteca: la Torre Libraria. Essa è visibile dai principali ambienti della biblioteca e ne è il punto di riferimento. Per accentuare l’effetto di unitarietà, la torre appare isolata rispetto ai vari solai attraversati: infatti, lungo il perimetro, una porzione di pavimento (≈20 cm) è in vetro. Tutta la struttura è realizzata in profilati di acciaio, parte a vista e parte inglobati nello scaffale, che consentono ingombri ridotti, rapidi tempi esecutivi, limitati interventi invasivi grazie al montaggio a secco e impiego di materiali riciclabili per uno sviluppo sostenibile.

With a straightforward design based on the use of readily avalaible, off the shelf components, PAT. scooped 3rd prize among 500 entries from all over the world in the international competition for the UIA Infopoint pavilion. The concept is based on a 315x315x315 mm metal frame which can be erected either in aluminium lattice post and beams or standard steel HEA 140 profiles with bolted joints. Details are reduced to a minimum. The quality of the design relies on two main elements: the internal diffuse natural light and the sensual shiny surfaces of the walls, which reversing usual practice bring the metal skin of the Isover Extrawall WW to the exterior, revealing its raw, unconventional beauty. While from the outside this soft aluminium skin is protected by glass panes, it is touchable once inside the building, where a central core encloses service spaces and the radio UIA office, suggesting a circular path to the visitor. The space is filled with northern light coming from top portholes arranged on the regular grid. Sun rays are blocked by shading devices ready made cutting standard 700 mm polyethylene tubes. From the outside an unusually pointed roof profile counterpoints the deceptively simple silver box.
The main entrance is on the fully glazed northern facade, which reveal interior activitiy, while the other three are opaque and avalaible as exhibition surfaces. On the south facade a ventilated cavity between the glass and the insulating panels activates the bioclimatic process of natural ventilation of the building interior, while a fluttering array of brightly coloured strings pinned to the Isover panels highlights the chimney effect.

The proposal is aimed at exalting the readability of the spatial qualities of the existing building. The design plays with two elements: the insertion of a series of “fragments” inside a container with a strong character, the enhancement of this character through the modulation of light. Lights and fragments counterpoints the solidity of the masonry walls of the building, creating new vibrations. The aim is to guide the visitor through an exciting series of spatial experiences. Plus, the tower will become a well serviced and stimulating workplace for its everyday users. From the ground level, the tower is neatly divided in three sectors, three flanking vertical blades. The design underlines this quality, giving each blade a function and a peculiar kind of light.

Omes is a company that produces fittings for grindings and cut-off wheels. When we were approached by the management to construct new premises, they already had initial designs in hand. It was the standard pre-cast concrete box mainly in use in the area. As it is usual in this kind of buildings it had the office area on two floors on the short side facing the road, and a double height area for the production. We were convinced that for the same budget we could offer a superior product in terms of comfort, aesthetics and performance. Contrary to local practice (which caused initial hesitancy on the part of the Client), we proposed a steel structure, light and recyclable. Its superior versatility and reduced sections maximises the potential of the interior space: the production area makes use of the entire ground floor, (which we were able to keep at a height of 4.5 metres). The second floor, raising up from the core of the building and protected by 2 side terraces, houses offices, storeroom, changing rooms and a canteen. The office zone is now surrounded by large glass panes on three sides, allowing the benefit of natural light and ventilation through the exposure to outdoor breezes.
The frame is in standard section steel profiles with bolted joints. The central bay -bearing 500 kg/m2- spans 11 m, the two side bays - bearing lighter charges- span 9,2 m. To avoid reducing the height of the groundfloor, the main beams HEA 550 which are needed to sustain the heavier central span are located at roof level, partially suspending the first floor.

This advantageous height and superior visibility offers the pleasure of a view of the Turin hills and the Alps, creating a relaxing environment for those working with computers. One of the two terraces is accessible by workers and serves as an outdoor communal relax area. A preference for ecologically compatible materials was used, such as in the case of using polyolefines membranes (for waterproofing of the roofs) and linoleum (for the flooring). Where possible, recyclable materials were chosen (steel and aluminium). The finished building, with its exterior silver coloured panels and its red metal structure, expresses the corporate identity of the company, which produces components in aluminium and has a red logo. The premises where put into use a few days following the completion after eight months of work on site. Thanks to the highly insulated building envelope and the adoption of condensing boilers, a first estimate of overhead costs per year on a metres cubed basis has indicated an approx. 50% saving when compared to the older plant.

Night view, west elevation. Behind the glass in the central bay it is possible to notice the cross bracings of the steel frame. On the right, the box protruding from the facade on the first floor contains the lift.
The red painted steel frame is only exposed on the interior, thus avoiding thermal bridges and minimizing maintenance. Anyway, it is possible to perceive the rhythm of the structure on the external skin of the building, where the joints between the cladding panels are in correspondence to the pillars.
On the perimeter, the walls are made of precast concrete blocks with an external siding of insulated metal panels. The space between the two allows the ventilation of the wall. Thermal brake frames are used in all windows.

The project is intended to set the guidelines for an environmentally sustainable industrial developement, based on flexible, energy efficient, recyclable buildings. The brief required a pilot 1.000 m2 steel framed factory on a 20x50m plan with a 8m interior height. We proposed a technology matrix combining various typology of framing and cladding elements and their costs. Basing on the matrix, the perspective users, working with the design team, will choose the combination best suited to their needs. In a fashion similar to the configuration of a new automobile, the clients will easily obtain alternative configurations that can be compared on the ground of overall cost and performance. The pre-selected palette of materials and framing systems will guarantee the unity of the whole industrial complex while allowing customizatione and variety in the individual solutions.
