Spitzbueb

Spitzbueb is a free standing pavilion with a refined and sophisticated self expressive material palette; a singularity of colour blue Zürich tinted terrazzo used for walls, roof, floor and ceilings. The ambition is for the internal spaces and the perimeter landscape to overlap, where the thresholds between both can be inhabited in some way, ensuring a layered experience. We believe this to be a fundamental, with neither square, terrace or cafe spaces redundant in the composition. Instead the space, from any view point, is energised and active. Whilst simple in concept, complexity is introduced through means of a shift in axis between internal spaces, and roof form, which is pentagonal in plan. Team: Fabio Don, Filippo Brutto & Kaspar Sando.
