La vita è bella a Vergaio | Prato – Italy
The project is located in the hamlet of Vergaio, historically part of the identity of the city of Prato and made famous by Roberto Benigni's mention at the Oscar ceremony. In this context of single-family homes, village atmosphere and a strong sense of community, a complete architectural transformation of a private three-storey house takes shape.
This is not merely an interior design project, but a total renovation made possible also through the Superbonus 100% scheme, which opened up complex but opportunity-rich scenarios. All three floors of the house were completely rethought and renewed from roof to basement, with works that redefined the building’s structure, systems and energy performance.
The entire design process involved facades, interior spaces, vertical circulation, living and sleeping areas, creating a balance between modern functionality, comfort and rootedness in the local context. The result is a new building organism, more efficient, contemporary and consistent with today’s living needs.
