Cassaro Cafè-Bistrot

Location: Noto, Siracusa, Italy, Architects: Morana+Rao Architetti, Photographs: Francesco Caristia

In Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the heart of Noto, there are the most prestigious buildings and churches of the 18th century, including the former Convent of Jesuits. This imposing edifice, that is just over 100 m long, was designed by Rosario Gagliardi, undisputed protagonist of the reconstruction of Noto and many other cities located in Val di Noto. This project concerns the interior of one of many commercial low parts that make up the large building’s ground floor. The design strategy aims at settling a complex programme of catering activities by enhancing the existing architectural space qualities and characteristics.

House MCM

Location: Brescia, Italy, Architects: Ghiroldi Design, Photographs: Davide Galli

House MCM is a warm and enveloping project by Ghiroldidesign, located on the top floor of a 19th century villa with a large garden, in the Italian city of Brescia. Its owners, a young lawyer couple, asked for their new home open spaces in the living room and dining room, and a very cool space. The intervention of the Mantua-based firm consisted of a structural and technical renovation of the house that led to the opening of the central wall, in the area of union between the living room, dining room and kitchen. In the renovated space, new elements coexist with others recovered, creating aesthetic synergies between past and present, and making some elements stand out thanks to others.
