“Typological hybridization” is the central theme characterizing this project. On one hand, the design completes the historical building facade of the street on the piazza, reinterpreting traditional elements of the typical architecture in the historic center of Albino. On the other hand, the inner courtyard transforms into a villa with a garden, creating a unique blend of public and private spaces. Albino is a small town where everyone knows each other. Many times, we have discussed with our clients the beauty of living on the piazza, walking out to meet friends, and having coffee at the corner bar. Equally appealing is the idea of being isolated and protected in a villa that opens onto a private inner garden, where one can dine under the portico and walk barefoot on the grass.
