Vorprojekt Hagnau Areal

The area is east side of Basel, along the river Birs and next to the big green park of Bürglinger. Two important infrastructural axes run per-pedicular to these elements: the cantonal road and the railway.A big public-commercial base fills the site at the ground floors, defining a new main square and green terraces above, and activating the street level. Above it, three residential towers. This configuration protects the flats from noise and pollution, and gives the possibility to exploit the view, with a particular structure of loggias and balconies of the towers.

Klybeck Areal masterplan

3 architects, 1 intern300’000m2

Klybeck is today an industrial area in the north side of Basel. The site has an intrinsic high potential, due to the presence of infrastructures, green areas, direct access to the water; and at the meantime is in a startegic position in Basel itself, in the middle between the City and the new urban development of 3Land.The project will join these two urban sides, and simultaneously a new Promenade will connect the natural elements of the site. Besides the required program, the aim is to maintain some industrial buildings, DNA of the area, and testimony of the preexistence.

National Suisse office building

competition_1.price2 architects, 1 intern

6’400m2

The new office building for “National Suisse” completes an ensemble around the headquarter of the company (historic building of Basel). This ensemble creates the new NationalSuisse Campus, where the vis-à-vis situation between the project and the headquarter, will define the main entrance of it. The building rises up next to an existing building, whose structure, plans and heights will be kept. The 2 buildings work together, and the new facade will unify everything in a unique system.The project contains offices underneath, and penthouses at the top floor.

The aim of the project is to unify the two existing train stations of Var-ese. The two train lines run on two different height levels, with a gap of 7 meters, due to the morphology of the ground. An heavy concrete roof running at the height of 12 meters, covers and connects togheter the two stations, and exploiting the natural gap, creates underneath different spaces with several atmospheres. The buiding itself with its shape, de-signs two new green areas, one facing the old city, the other the new-city on the hill, permitting to sew up two sides of Varese, giving also the city a new public space.

New library for the city

Accademia Arch.Mendrisio

Basel 2009

A new library for Basel, in a strategic point of the city, close to the ger-man train station. Respecting the urbanistic rules, the building is a long volume with two main levels. The ground floor is an open space, like an old covered city market, point of social interactions.This space with fragile pillars holds the upper part, an heavy machine, case of culture and knowledge: the library. The project is a unique struc-tural machine, where the structure divides and organizes the spaces, and produces at the same time visual and spatial connections.

Hotel on the Duoro river

Accademia Arch.Mendrisio

Porto 2008

An hotel along the Duoro river, in the Porto’s countryside. A longitudinal building follows the peculiarity of the site, the strong horizontality of the river and of the terraccing cultivations. Anchored in the hill, the project is at the meantime an hotel and a path, that following the morphology of the site, descends to the water of the river. This path alternates com-mon spaces almost blind, just with overhead light to really bright rooms, that open themselves to the Duoro, offering panoramic views toward the landscape.
