These are the prerequisites for a house, spanning approximately 90 square metres + a 150 square-metre garden, in the Casal Palocco district in Rome: serial because it is a typical terraced house but at the same time unique, with its own identity. The apartment distribution is canonical, into four sections:
\nthe corridor separates the apartment into the servicing area (bathroom and kitchen) and the serviced area (living room, bedrooms and garden);
\nhalf-way along the corridor, a pocket door creates the classic split between the living area and the slumber quarters. As you enter into the hall, the perception of light and of the powerful white, the receptor of all the other colours, from the walls, the doors and the furniture present contrasts with the matt grey resin of the hallway, almost as if to simulate the \u201casphalt surface of a road\u201d.
\nThe rhythm and neutral colour, where present and only barely noticeable, are designed by contemporary polished glass panelling that partly covers the rooms (sky blue-grey for the servicing space and olive-grey for the serviced space), then turning into the corridor to reveal its essence, with closed doors; it is not a treatment in itself but designed to signal the numerous Scrigno sliding door recesses present.<\/p>\n
The doors, all from the Essential line, are white and non-standard size (2.70 m), ajar, disappearing completely when not needed, somehow bringing to mind the idea of lightness and linearity, sometimes unexpected and unusual. The kitchen’s fully transparent diaphragm-door can slide shut without ever interrupting the view of continuity with the adjoining living room, deck and garden, reminding you that \u201ceating is a serious affair\u201d.<\/p>\n
The family furniture, inserted one in each room, positioned to be mirrored, reflected and reinterpreted, through light and material, tell their story ironically. The panelling, which is visible from any part of the home, therefore remains a leitmotiv which conveys spatial continuity through visual references: interior\/exterior, inside\/outside. The material, glass on the inside\/lava stone on the outside, creates contrasts via the relevant behaviour with light, proving light-heavy, glossy-matt, reflective-absorbent. The ambition is to lend balance and a desire for well-being which remains imprinted in the soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2970,"template":"","class_list":["post-10485","scrignocom_project","type-scrignocom_project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"project_description":"
Identity. Rhythm. Balance. Cas\/al\/Palocco
\nRome, Casal Palocco, Pontine belt of the Italian capital. In the heterogeneous and widespread city, typical of this Roman suburb, Nicola Auciello is in charge of the renovation of this 90 square-metre house with a garden.<\/p>\n
Its layout typical of the 1970s. A tenant as the customer. A total renovation.
\nOne constraint: to apply minimal floor plan changes. One challenge (during the design phase): to reveal the identity of the individual rooms (private space) to a hypothetical passageway-hallway (shared space).<\/p>\n","project_date":"2012","project_where":"Rome","project_featured_image":"https:\/\/www.scrigno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/001_Camera-Studio.jpg","project_gallery":[{"ID":2974,"id":2974,"title":"003_Camera-da-letto.jpg","filename":"003_Camera-da-letto.jpg","filesize":112408,"url":"https:\/\/www.scrigno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/003_Camera-da-letto.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.scrigno.com\/en\/products\/montescudo\/003_camera-da-letto-jpg-2\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"003_camera-da-letto-jpg-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":15830,"date":"2024-07-29

to unnecessary temporary virtuosisms.\n\nThe scope of intervention ranges from research to design in public, residential and interior architecture, industrial design and exhibit design, using an established network of specialist consulting where necessary. Recent works include the Caritas Centre for the Homeless in Ladispoli (Rome), designed together with Beniamino Servino. In 2010, again in Ladispoli, the studio designed the multi-purpose sports centre for artistic gymnastics. In 2008, the redevelopment of Unicredit Banca branches in Lazio for the Capitalia Group. In Rome in 2001, the studio took part in the refurbishment and redecorating of the Museum of Roman Civilization on behalf of Fiat Engineering (now Maire Engineering) with Marta Laudani, Marco Romanelli and Massimo Noceto.\n\nThe work completed by studio na3 has won awards and accolades, and has been published in Italian and international books and magazines, as well as being displayed in conferences and exhibitions including, among the most important: MAXXI Rome, Triennale Milan, Complesso del Vittoriano Rome, Casa dell'architettura Rome, MRSN Museum Turin, National Museum of Science and Technology Milan, PalazzoValmarana Braga Vicenza, Shanghai Architecture Biennale, Terni Architecture Festival, Visions beyond Media Florence, Sofia's World Triennial of Architecture, Finland Pavilion Seville, Salone del Mobile Milan, MiArt Milan, BuildUp Milan. In 2010 the studio was mentioned for the InArch Regional Award for Contemporary Architecture RomArchitettura4 in the category: \"intervention completed, designed a young designer\". That same year, the studio won the Residential Space Design Excellence Award at the IAI Shanghai Architecture Biennale (China).\n\nIn 2013, the studio was mentioned for the \u2018La Ceramica e il Progetto\u2019 (Ceramics and Design) Confindustria Ceramica award at the MAXXI in Rome. Nicola supplements his design activities with teaching design at IED and historical-critical research, by publishing essays about architecture and design.","post_title":"Nicola Auciello","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"nicola-auciello-3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-09-18 16:47:38","post_modified_gmt":"2024-09-18 14:47:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.scrigno.com\/architects\/nicola-auciello-3\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"scrignocom_architect","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"project_architect_name":"Nicola Auciello"},"yoast_head":"\n
