For a new ecology of living
Ada Bursi’s legacy is transformed into an exam project of the two-year Interior Design specialist program at IED Turin, unfolding a narrative on contemporary living, between ecology, spatial flexibility, and social awareness.
The SelgasCano project for Second Home explores sustainable and biophilic design. The offices are flooded with natural light and bright colours; and 35 trees have been planted inside, joining the vine (planted by Richard Rogers) in the inner courtyard.
SelgasCano recently also expanded its 2014 Second Home Shoreditch project (East London) by adding a floor to the existing building. Unlike Holland Park, it is designed to accommodate larger groups of people.
