The designer suggested to create a physical connection between the front and the main section of the original building. This became a cement wall that physically and visually connected the building in a horizontal and vertical direction, becoming both a structural and a visual element, constituing the driving force of the plan. Great care has been taken to preserve the original masonry that is nearly always visible.
A combination of exposed cement, brickwork, and steel and oak parts pool together to create an industrial look in line with the origins of the building. The result is a luxury, contemporary home that preserves strong bonds with the past. Callesella has skilfully furnished and favoured the conservative yet simultaneously contemporary concept of this building’s Victorian mood.
