Functional reuse of former cinemas in lecco: houses, shops and offices

The project involves the functional reuse of the buildings, once occupied by two cinemas and inserted inside a real estate complex built in 1950 in the city center. Particular planning attention concerned the definition of the structural system of the building, having to proceed with the demolition and reconstruction of the volumes of the cinemas, partially underlying the high inhabited residential building. The project proposes a new planivolumetric layout with the formation of an internal courtyard that separates the new residential building and the garages from the existing one. In this, on the lower floors, new commercial and tertiary functions are located.
