Preziosismi
Factory and Offices
Valenza - Italy 2001


This new building will house the factory and offices of the Italian jewelry maker Preziosismi.
The building is divided in to horizontal layers, with each layer corresponding to a different function and thus clad in a different material corresponding to the use it protects.
The top layer is shifted, cantilevering to cover a private pool below.
A central courtyard is found in the buildings core, bringing natural light to a garden found in the center of the ground floor, were precious materials are made and protected behind the solid barrier of stone.
