Building in Via Montanelli-Nicotera
Architect Venturino Ventura - Vittoria District, Rome, 1960
The building was built on a triangular lot between via Nicotera and via Montanelli, and is therefore composed of three linear elevations with three corner solutions, vertices characterised by large circular balconies.
The balconies with a mushroom-shaped structure in exposed reinforced concrete, completely projecting, are in fact emergencies that, with the insertion of flower boxes and the close relationship with the surrounding trees, characterise the architecture of the building.
The facades are characterised along their entire length by large balconies protected by a railing in which prefabricated flower boxes decorated with mosaics of river pebbles in relief are inserted.
The succession of 18 floor-to-ceiling French windows with vertical mullions and one horizontal one forming a transom window creates a warm and natural façade that interacts with the garden and the plants in the window boxes.
Under the balconies there is a sloping false ceiling with wooden slats to cancel the angle between the vertical wall and the horizontal floor. This solution is recurrent in the architecture of Venturino Ventura.
