Garlenda Staircase

Garlenda (SV) 2018

The Garlenda staircase connects three levels: the basement, the living floor and the sleeping floor. The idea is based on the static contrast between the principle of the simply supported beam (first flight) and the principle of the cantilever (second flight).

Tilde Staircase

Cerveteri (RM) 2016

Staircase with steps and balustrade in oxidised and waxed iron.

Suspended Blackbox

Roma (RM) 2006

The set-up of MOSTRAMOSTRO inside the Mazzoniana Wing of Termini Station in Rome became the opportunity to design a black box suspended on cables, capable of illuminating with diffuse light the installation of the artist Federica Giglio below.

Tree Staircase

Barbania (TO) 2005

The Barbania staircase refers to a tradition of metal carpentry which, in its construction, finds its reference in the steel-working heritage of the Canavese.
In the rural, farming context, the staircase seeks to narrate – or rather evoke – all the elements that embody the legacy of a local culture strongly shaped by the land and by nature.
These aspects affect the substance and the content of the composition of the forms and of their connections in the making of the staircase.

Structural Consolidation

Roma (RM) 2005

The project was carried out in an early 20th-century building with load-bearing walls of tufa blocks and key inserts in brick masonry, and a pitched roof with Roman tiles supported by chestnut-wood trusses.

Bridge of Science

Roma (RM) 2002

Design competition for two pedestrian bridges over the Tiber: Ponte della Scienza, Ostiense, Rome. Designers: Arch. Enrico Cerioni (team leader) with Maurizio Macciocchi. Collaborators: M. Del Duca. Steel structures: Eng. M. Majowiecki. Concrete structures: Eng. Ermanno Clementoni. Foundations: Geologist R. Calzoletti.

Helical Staircase

Lago Patria (NA) 1996

The circular spiral staircase is enclosed in a structure of reinforced-concrete walls forming the three sides that stabilise it. These walls, except at foundation and roof level, are interrupted along the bisector to allow natural light to enter.

Nautilus Staircase

Moncalieri (TO) 1994

The staircase is located inside an 18th-century villa which, during the last century, underwent structural consolidation works. The intervention included cutting/hooping the slab and inserting a steel portal made of HEA profiles.
