The new residential construction stands in the place of an existing building at the junction between two canals, preserving its smokestack as a document of the industrial past. Its cubical mass is excavated on the South side by a trapeze white-stuccoed court, an intimate space which leads to the only vertical distribution.
If the materials and techniques used are very traditional, subtle alterations in their detailing reveal the impossibility of an historicist replica.
The traditional white Istria stone corniche which borders the windows of the minor Venetian historical architecture is transfigured into a “graphic” motif, working on the different depths of the windows given by the different obscuring devices.
