A little iron and glass box: materials that reflect the lights of the river Po.

Simple strokes like water flowing by elements based on parallel lines.

Spaces in communion with nature, where the limits are melted, where the "inside" is an opportunity to observe the river.

 

On a ship docked to the left embankment, near a small urban centre, a new structure, a bar, born from the ashes of a small "kiosk" destroyed by fire.

The project is based on simple signs: two parallel walls, one of which transparent, covered from a slab, so as to "incorporate" part of the external environment.

This approach fits in the silence and stillness of the place with signs parallel to the flow direction of the river Po, which here has an imponent extension of 300 ml. Hidden beyond the bank the object is revealed through a path that leads to a suspended walkway.

An intervention in simple materials, and made with the tenacity and effort of a private client who believed in the inclusion of an architectural object in an environment where nature is unique master.
