THE FORTRESS Hotel Spa Gallery
The Castle historical essence has been preserved: the added elements are external paths thanks to which there is a constant dialogue on more levels between the indoor and the outdoor. The corten has been chosen as material because of its high recognisability and its weather resistance. On the Terrace, which is the most contemplative and panoramic point, there are ephemeral structures that could became a multiarena for expositions or for events at open air.

ARTIST’S HOUSE
the gallery SQUARE
The squares Their configurations recalls the ancient Roman forum, but the classic and massive stairs in the reality are flushed: they hide beneath a temporary art gallery. The artist’s house The artists' houses can be considered as real shelters. They are arranged along the main route leading to the fortress through small itinerary that reach the square above and they are partially underground with only one side open. Access from the square to the house is guaranteed by a staircase that leads directly into the artist's atelier.All surfaces are designed to meet with the minimum encumbrance the artist’s requirements,only the atelier is bigger than the other spaces and has got a huge glass roof which all day long allows natural lighting.
THE ARCHES
Inspired by the ancient and historical Tonnara of Favignana external structure, the arches are like ”totems” that drive visitors en route to the fortress: starting from a standard form they extrude in different ways to become chairs, cozy points favoring panoramic views and signage near the artist’s house & atelier and the square.
