Carlo Ratti Associati has intervened by opening the building to the city and to the garden. A protruding glass body has been added which hosts a café and acts as an inviting element to passerby in the San Salvario neighborhood. The villa’s historical staircase is infused with new life, as it is illuminated by a newlyopened skylight and by Olafur Eliasson’s La congiuntura del tempo (Tempo junction) kaleidoscopic installation. All around the building, an orchard and green areas designed by Louis Benech – the French landscape architect who reshaped the Tuileries gardens in Paris and the Water Theatre Grove at the Palace of Versailles – will offer its occupants the chance to work outdoors, in close contact with nature.
