The 3rd architectural journey takes us to the north-west of Italy in a center street of Torino, in front of the facade of an industrial urban mini-loft.
This architecture is arranged in duplex : a majestic entrance in arcade recalls those of the old town center of the famous italian industrial capital.
Featuring a marked monochromatic contrast, the graphic architecture of this mini-loft rests on a rough stone wall that extends to the courtyard floor.
Ground floor opts for one-way mirrored windows to ensure a certain privacy preserving the external pedestrian flow.
The arcade incorporates an armored main door and a sliding blind opening onto an inner courtyard - just like the London workshop –studio.
Steps leading upstairs and those inside the mini-loft add the colorful touch that echoes the outdoor greenery.
The interior courtyard can park 2 "small" or city cars : the vertical opening in full glass blocks rising from floor to ceiling provides a filter of soft, subdued light.
Both square of greenery with fountain-wall of water stretching towards the sky bring a note of freshness.
If the industrial interior of this mini-loft may seem cramped, on the contrary it highlights an atypical volume combined with an impressive ceiling height.
