The former Monastery of Madri Benedettine is located in the ancient part of Como, that is called Città Murata, that represents an important fragment, from a historical point of view thanks to its size and complexity.
The project proposal is constituted by the need of the Property to research a new process of valorisation of the Intervention, in particular through a new design of individual real estate units and through a synergistic re-design of common spaces and its finishes.
The first aspect that defines the project is the redesign the physical connection of the common spaces, and also visual when it is possible, all the stairwells from inside the building, some naturally suited spaces and also providing a room for collective use. This is a new relationship between the common building spaces up to a discreet opening on the external city.
The design proposal involves the recovery of historical plasters, favoring original shapes and profiles in the exaltation of the new colors (in the range of light colors) the plastic cuts of the openings. The use of traditional materials such as Serizzo stone, Beola and wood is envisaged, while the other contemporary materials are used with designs and models that recall tradition.
