By hiding several openings behind integrated shutters incorporated in the wooden facade, the building lives with it's inhabitants being lively and illuminated when used. #architecture #interiordesign #renovation #grado #gradoitaly #colmata #colmatauno #designedingrado @woodn_industries #architectandfriends Image of Marcello D'Olivo's ideas for the Complesso Zipser in Grado, Italy. Designs from the late 1950's, the condominium was built between approx. 1960 and 1965.
