Intermediate House

The time that passed from the eviction of the tenants of this sixteenth-century palace and the commission to transform the building into a small hotel and restaurant resulted in an extremely suggestive and evocative intermediate landscape; somewhere between a ruin and a void, between existing conditions and archaeology, a window open onto history in which the marks of events and of our time are superimposed, like a palimpsest. It is an atlas of different undocumented materials, which registers the memories of the inhabitants and the history of the construction of the house and its transformations.
The intermediate house is a place waiting for something to happen. An intervened space without intervention. It is the frozen memory of a place that at this moment is not inhabited.
Containing the past, present and future simultaneously as a way to retain in memory this place and its origin.
