This project began as an old WWII bomb site, long since backfilled and laying dormant. Our client Aria, purchased the land and through an invited design competition, appointed Architects Amin Taha + Groupwork. Their proposal sought to create a building which restored to form the symmetry of the palazzo. In doing so, creating a structure wholly new and questioning the boundaries of restoration. Alluding to memory rather than perfectly mimicking the past.
