The study room at Cascina Nuova in Borgaro was not conceived as an isolated design intervention, but rather as an opportunity to rethink a new entrance to the historic farmstead and to create a formal connection between the numerous activities that take place around it.
The proposal involves demolishing the existing narrow staircase and the adjoining walkway, which currently serves as an emergency escape route for the cinema hall. These will be replaced by two independent, appropriately dimensioned staircases: one providing access to the study room and the other serving the cinema. This solution will not only improve the distribution of vertical circulation, but also enhance the entrance gateway and the perspective towards the inner courtyard, freeing the view of the distinctive timber roof structure beneath the clay tiles, one of the defining features of the historic building.
The two vertical circulation volumes will become recognisable landmarks, enhancing the main entrance to the farmstead and bringing the different activities overlooking it\u2014such as the cinema, the music room and the new study room\u2014together against a single architectural backdrop. Both volumes are clad in a black iron metal skin, a material whose inherent characteristics clearly distinguish the new intervention while respecting the historic character of the site. The use of dry-assembled metal structures also underlines the temporary and reversible nature of the intervention.
The iron cladding will incorporate letterboxes, a bench, signage and lettering, which will be laser-cut directly into the sheet metal. The piston-driven lift, which does not require a dedicated machine room, will likewise be integrated into the new metal skin of the stair volume providing access to the study room.
Closing the sliding gate will allow the vehicular passage to be transformed, when necessary, into a foyer serving the cinema or special events held in the music room. This is particularly relevant in view of the potential use of the northern entrance to the farmstead by the Green Cross ambulance service. In any case, the new sliding gate closing off the courtyard will have the same width as the existing wooden entrance gate, allowing ambulances and maintenance vehicles to pass through.
Both new stair volumes start from the courtyard, facilitating evacuation and preventing circulation flows from crossing at the entrance.<\/p>\r\n
