Structural scenographies
A word Delrosso often slips into the conversation when talking about his conception of the home is “exoskeleton”. It is easy to see why from this refurbishment project that involved additions both vertically and horizontally, anchored by masonry partitions and with the addition of an external metal framework. The new walls in Trani stone provide a slightly subversive sense of thrust, their gentle tapering even suggesting a residue of some previous masonry and generating new force-lines. The metal framework imposes the new signature to the façade, orchestrating the various structural, functional and insulation features.
