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.

The new faces of stone!
Federico Delrosso has partnered with Guido Ariotti at Ariottimarmi to create Marmocode, a multilayer material from marble waste. Similar colour groups are cut crossways to the slab, to reveal different patterns.
Marmocode can be made into blocks

In Svizzera il nuovo intervento di Federico Delrosso

Il completo restyling di un’abitazione unifamiliare degli anni ‘80 è il tema dell’intervento recentemente ultimato da Federico Delrosso in Svizzera: l’assetto originario è stato completamente stravolto con l’aggiunta di nuovi volumi verticali e orizzontali secondo uno schema compositivo nuovo, seppur ancorato al luogo mediante quinte murarie realizzate in pietra di Trani, lavorata a spacco.
