La Stazione | DLArchitecture Domitilla Lepri

This project takes his inspiration from an old art nouveau railway station

Located on two floors this venue has the typical flavor of an mitteleuropean architecture from the end of the nineteen century. Main elements are iron pillars looking like tree branches , floral style partition walls, big mosaic composition, as in an old Parisian subway station, and a lot of broken old looking cement tiles on the walls and chalk tiles on selected area of ceiling. Many elements such as clocks, luggage’s and decorative panels bring the client back into the golden era of railways. The design of the spirits conveys the sensation of speed you can experience when watching out from the window of a running train. Broken tiles are featured all over the place, both in the interior and on the façade to remind of an abandoned train station hall.

The continuity between the 1st and the 2nd floor is assured by the spectacular art nouveau glass holder which goes from the first floor through the void, up to the second floor’ ceiling .

On the façade elegance and decadent feeling leads, with the purposely excessive quantity of broken tiles, which once again give the nostalgic sensation of a former grandiose building now abandoned.
