In Ukraine, along one of the principal streets of Zhitomir's city, upraise the Palace subject of a complete renovations. At the moment pharmaceutical office, it will develops into a prestigious residential Palace, in the near future, through a careful renovations. In the area will found location others three buildings: one will hold both the guardian house and series of rooms dedicated to the owner hobbies, a second will sees at itself inner different luxury cars and that in front will receives for one part the garden equipments and for the other part it will became a greenhouse with officinal plants, fruit plants and flowering bush. The volume of the residential building under the formal and composite profile is mindful of the past, both the draw of the facades, simple and linear with regular windows and the organization of the inner spaces. To intervene restructuring isn’t a simple thing.

The starting idea of intervention was been to re-read with contemporary key of traditional residential house, purified from each nostalgic and stylistic concession.

A series of parallel walls distribute with rationality and rigor the five rooms, which four manor, every gifted of private services and wardrobes, arranged in sequence and signalled at the exterior by mails of the opening that brings to a large terrace. Finally there is a buried floor where are located the service functions, the technical locals and the gym. Joining a sapient draw of the interior distributions with the care in the choice of the details and the finished materials, like for the "Fenice"; in Venice, will obtain, from the ashes of the past splendours, a precious, luxury and elegant residential palace, that we have called Zhitomir Palace...
