4MS | Pardini Hall Architecture

The existing dwelling has a deep and narrow floor plate, with daylight penetrating from the east and west. The proposed project aims to enhance the amount of natural light by investigating levels of transparency both vertical and horizontally, through a play of reflections and perspectives. That is the reason why we choose to build an extension in complete glass, and we used stainless steel for the structure in order to have the reflection of the green around. The depth of the building should generate a visual connectivity between the living space and the external landscaping, whilst maximising transparency and natural daylight. The choice Open space, creating a sequence of distinct functional areas where it is dismantled the concept of "room" for a context of spatial fluidity. The service areas including toilet and laundry cupboard are all together. The dining area is planned in the basement, along with the kitchen area, while the ground floor is dedicated to the living room and a library room. The creation of a core services behind the kitchen frees up the stairs by expanding existing wardrobes across wide spaces and create a space for living adjacent to the well-being. The bedrooms, on the three floors below, want to maximise the spaces with furniture bespoke and want to create contemporary but cozy rooms.
