The building, object of renovation and expansion, is known in the territory of the municipality of Marostica as “Osteria alla Fortuna”. The building was in a state of serious neglect and showed the urgent need for an overall recovery. The building is located at the northeast side of the area of the Campo Marzio and at the end of the long avenue that runs along the area until to the entrance of the osteria which is in line with the pedestrian path. The building consisted of a main block, rectangular in plan, divided into three floors: the ground floor used as a restaurant business while two additional floors for residential use. The original building had the same architectural character of the main facade which is still visible and the same geometric shape. The thickness of the walls is very different and the substantial diversity of the materials whose they were made, clearly shows the presence of a probably first volume of the first '900 later expanded in the current size; original rock walls give way to less thick brick walls. The first part presents parastades and moldings that identify backgrounds and geometric proportions of the facade while the extension retains the simplicity and poverty of the materials also in the building form. From the comparison with other buildings in the area of Marostica and in the same historic period, it was possible to imagine that it was originally a palace of the first '900, with a rectangular shape without a pavilion roof. The shape of the cornices on hedge was made of concrete with a step-wise shape that did not correspond to the marcapiano moldings in the three main sides. The design choices are made to maintain the memory of the original surfaces, leaving out all the following actions on adaptation, which were all poor of architectural and technological content, and were driven by the desire to maintain the historical memory of the osteria and the original part of the building through a unique composition of the building in the recognition of the historical moments of the production of architectural parts. The project solution aims to bring together in a single entity the past and the present, looking for a common plane of reference. This hypothesis has taken shape thinking about the common plan as a base housing, a support structure neutral, to act as a glue to the surfaces of the early twentieth century along with those of the present. The building is shaped like a palace typology that maintains the original formal characteristics, with the elimination of the pavilion roof, which is not in keeping with the architecture of the early twentieth century and even the current ones. Each of the two wall surfaces are treated with stylistic rigor, providing for the restoration of surfaces maintained and the recomposition of damaged parts, while in the case of the new walls it is left space to a simple compositional style with large windows. The functional solution involves the construction of a basement that includes the entire perimeter of the building in which there are two storage rooms for the two apartments while the remaining space is allocated to the activity of the restaurant on the ground floor. The ground floor is entirely dedicated to the osteria with the unique exception of the staircase to the upper floors, arranged for two apartments. The ground floor area is equipped with independent facilities, in accordance with the needs of the restaurant business. On the roof are installed both solar thermal panels and photovoltaic panels to help reduce pollutants and the reduction of energy consumption. The lift allows the vertical connection for the apartments and also for the area of the ground floor with a separate management access.
