While all roads lead to roam, one main street will lead you to the big church of the st. Peter.

With more than fourty thousand visitors per day i chose (Vicolo Del Campanile) street to be an entrance to the palazzo, whereas that small street give a better feeling of belonging to the neighborhood.

Two entrances will lead us for two open and green courtyards connected with a space under the middle block. An opening through this block brings light to a fountain underneath it. with another activities space to create social contact between the residents.

Walking to right or the left under the loggia lead us to the main staircases with a view to the old city and the Tiber(South-east), and the Passitto Di Borgo,Sant Angelo with the rest of the city (North-east).

Having a walk in the palazzo will create the question about the other half of the circle, taking us in a walk reaching the ground floor again around the perfect shape, where light meets water and sky reflection inviting to look up.

Inspired by Roman history i started the facade with big pieces of Travertine stone, cut with a rough saw horizontally for the bottom and virtically for the columns, creating gradient between the street and the building by what sticks from dirt on the bottom.

Using Terracotta to cover the facade and feeling the freedom of this material ending the top with a diagonal. Windows are used as balconies as well, the railing is designed in a golden ratio with the window, as a diagram of the facade reminding the residents of the exterior of the facade.

The corners of the building are rounded trying to show respect to the Santa Maria church that is soaked/sunken between the big buildings. Its tower in the middle is dividing the eastern facade in a grediant between the main road and the back street.

In the interior i aimed to divide the areass by light, the more shared space with more light, and the darker to the more private.
