Description
This is a feasibility study developed to find a functional yet iconic solution for the rooftop terrace of one of the two buildings in the hospitality complex, ensuring the usability of the outdoor spaces even in unfavorable weather conditions.
The choice to use curvilinear surfaces in the roof design was driven by the desire to avoid heavy structures. Therefore, tensile material technology was used, pushing its technological potential to the limit. This transformed the roof into a three-dimensional, visually striking element that characterizes the space.
The project was then conditioned by the client’s choice to create a dense garden on the terrace, intended as a roof garden and bar, with the inclusion of even tall tree essences.
In fact, the presence of these suggested “tearing” the roof surface by creating curvilinear slots, of varying sizes, that would allow the vegetation to emerge beyond the plastic surface of the roof.
The resulting shapes blend well with the vegetation arranged on the terrace in a seemingly random manner, creating unpredictable and exotic atmospheres and spaces that stimulate the curiosity of onlookers.
Finally, the choice of color was made, with reference to the veils of ancient Rome, to contextualize the project.
