Tosetto Weigmann & Associates Torino : Italian Office Building

Contemporary Turin Interior, northern Italy - design by MARC

30 Mar 2012 Tosetto Weigmann & Associates Torino Design: MARC Transformation of a 20th century mansion building into a contemporary office building, Turin photos : Beppe Giardino TOSETTO, WEIGMANN AND ASSOCIATES LAWYER OFFICE Transformation of a mansion into a lawyers’ office, Turin (Italy) MARC is commissioned to transform an elegant mansion from the beginning of the 20th century into an efficient contemporary office building. To do that it needs to perform radical and pragmatic interventions, optimizing the use of space. At the same time, it is necessary to respect the existing rooms and preserve their charm, but without being intimidated by their cold classicism. The project looks for discretion and neutrality while inserting all the many necessary new elements. Like the new staircase in perforated metal -the trigger of the typological change- that connects seven different levels illuminating them with a big skylight. Like the new library, made to grow, to which a whole new level, suspended in the heart of the building, is dedicated. This occupies the very core of the building: the new level is a mezzanine obtained with a very articulated walkway that runs all around the heart of the building, forming a complex grid, a rational labyrinth that maximizes the extension of the bookshelves. The walkway is always detached from the walls, and it has no handrail: it’s the books themselves that provide for safety. photos : Beppe Giardino Tosetto Weigmann & Associates Turin - Building Information Project: MARC Designers: Subhash Mukerjee, Michele Bonino Collaborators: Lucia Baima, Cristina Cordeschi, Cinthya Luglio, Francesco Strocchio, Tommaso Rocca Partners for engineering: FRED (structural engineer: Riccardo Sampietro; HVAC engineer: Daniele Forte; accounting and security: Filippo Rizzo) Program: office: 1.800 sqm Schedule: 2010-11 Client: Tosetto, Weigmann e Associati Photographs: Beppe Giardino Tosetto Weigmann & Associates Torino images / information from MARC MARC
