ALESSANDRO SEPE ARCHITECT

For this competition, I was the group leader in a team of 3 architects. I have worked on the concept, the 3D Revit model, and the production of 2D drawings and renderings.

The Italian company, Granulati Zandobbio which produces stone floors and walls, was the organizer of the contest. It was asked to create a new building for the management, administration offices and a big hall for events and exhibitions. It was also asked to create a building that can remind the guests the identity and the mission of the company, or rather to transform the building itself in a message to the public, a sort of landmark.

Our first idea was to design a building that looks like a big rock floating on the water.

We created an entrance hall that combined the vertical connection with the space for the events, transforming a classic stair in a monumental one, where guests can sit and watch the exhibitions or the shows. This entire space has two main focus points, one that looks at the main square, and the other that looks at the old factory and at the existing so called “Stone Garden”, an exhibition of all the products of the company.
