The existing building had served as offices, and the project aimed to maintain its volumetric relationship with the surrounding buildings. Being located in a historic area under UNESCO protection, the intention was to safeguard its urban morphology, facade, and typological characteristics of the building.
The design solution assumed a project concept based on the coexistence and connection between two different temporalities. It explores the "history" of the building in a context of dialogue with a contemporary intervention, in line with activities related to new technologies. Working with light as the raw material of architecture, revealing the sculptural plasticity of interior spaces, serves as a unifying element.
The project retained the existing clinic uses at Santa Filomena and introduced the new use of Hemodialysis to the building that had previously been an old theater.
