This new completed renovation projectof the Ex Sellerie is designed by Italian architect Giorgio Comoglio. The project is located in the area of the ex military arsenal in Turin, Italy. The task of the project is to increase the original building’s floor area and height. The minimal form of perforated steel envelope has been introduced to integrate the existing building into one, and also not to interfere with the surrounding buildings.

from the architects Giorgio Comoglio :

"We opted to install a curtain of perforated sheet metal in copper-zinc-titanium alloy attached independently on the facade. This skin was meant to wrap the building like an ambiguous veil that conceals the complexity and architectural disorder determined by the previous structure, transforming the pitched roof into a series of homogeneous volumes superimposed. The building is wrapped in a new shell that filters the view of the city with different transparencies."

This Pedro Almodóvar Monument is a new completed architectural design in recognition of Spanish film director Pedro Almodóvar located in his hometown of Calzada de Calatrava, in the heart of the community of Castilla, La Mancha, Spain.

The project was the winner of a competition launched by the community government to pay tribute to Almodóvar’s film work and to make references to the culture and landscape of La Mancha. The main idea of the project was to frame the land of La Mancha, as if it were a fragment of one of his films.

Monovolume architecture + design have designed an architecural commercial building project of Blaas General Partnership new head office building located in Bolzano, Italy. The company Blaas in Bolzano is specialized in electro-mechanics and presents its new product range and offers repair service.

On the ground floor of the building there is the sales division, on the first floor the exposition area and the repair shop. All administration offices are located on the second floor. The overall impression of the structure is a homogenous and closed building. Nevertheless, there exists a separation between the public and the private sector. The client can perceive this clear and formal internal division already from the outside.

The glass façade on the Northern side provides a maximum of visibility and transparency to the exhibition and sales area. The private spaces such as repair offices, stockrooms and offices have their façades exposed to the South, East and West which are protected with a sun screening system.



In order to establish an optimal relation between natural light, development and planning of spaces there has been created a luminous entrance hall in the centre of the building with an inner courtyard. This green open spot permits the administrative sector of the second floor to receive ample natural light and at the same time it generates a protected, quiet recreation area for the staff.
