将一座废弃谷仓改造成旅舍/酒吧/俱乐部。这个诞生于疫情期间的项目极其简约，通过夹层和双层挑高空间创造出明亮宽敞的环境。所有家具均由RCAA设计，完全采用模块化结构，可拆卸并适应未来使用功能的改变。
该项目是对一栋农舍建筑的适应性再利用，该建筑此前曾被部分改造成办公室，而后在施工中途被废弃。业主希望将其转变为集旅舍、俱乐部和联合办公于一体的空间。
建筑位于特雷维索市郊，虽然位置不算理想，但因其靠近当地机场 “步行即可到达” 而显得完美。考虑到周边环境一般，我们决定在内部打造有趣的空间，同时满足最大化床位数量和必要技术/辅助空间的需求。
建筑原本是个空壳，有两层开放式空间和一个未完工的夹层。正当我们进行概念设计时，疫情爆发了。随后的12个月里，我们无法确定何时以及如何重新开始旅行。无论是我们还是客户，都不知道这家旅舍最终能以什么形式开业，但项目还是获得了批准。
我们将这种不确定性作为设计的出发点。我们想设计一个既能完全满足当前用途，又能轻松改作他用的空间——强调韧性和适应性。
我们尽可能减少隔墙，将所有湿区功能 “卫生间、厨房等” 保留在原有位置，并最大化利用外围和明装的机电设备。这样不仅控制了预算，还使内部布局能够整体或局部重组，而无需大规模拆除。
整个建筑采用统一的地面材料。我们选用明亮的黄色调来统一和点亮空间，这种如同魔法地毯般的色彩成为室内真正的主角。这样空间可以重新布置和划分，而无需更换地面材料，规模经济也带来了可观的节省。
为此，我们选择了工业级树脂地面，具有机械强度高、防水且能承受专业清洁产品的特性。
选择金黄色调是因为其温暖的特性、带来的光线质量，以及与威尼斯共和国旗帜上金色的关联——这仍是该地区的象征。这是整个建筑中唯一使用的颜色，起到统一空间的作用。
家具也采用定制设计，完全模块化。储物柜可以任意数量重组，用螺栓连接成隔断或组合成各种形式，就像乐高积木。书架单元同样如此，可以挂在墙上或堆叠成书柜。
床架结构可以布置成单床、双床或双层床，每个组件 “底座、结构、屏风、集成阅读灯、甚至编号牌” 都可以拆卸清洁或更换。
桌子可以拆分成工作台，也可以组合起来适应不同规模的团体使用。它们还可以固定在主吧台的周边墙上，释放中央空间。
前台、信息点和餐厅家具都可以拆卸，分成更小的部件用于不同功能。
与Finemateria工作室合作设计的软垫座椅采用特殊泡沫雕刻出简单形状。这些轻巧的座椅可以堆叠或组合，由客人自己创造不同的休息区布局。
所有家具都在当地25公里半径范围内的公司定制设计和生产，全部采用钢材并经过工业级粉末涂层处理，便于清洁——这在疫情期间是必备条件。
照明系统采用现成组件，所有电缆外露布线，同样可以轻松重新布置而无需拆除。通风系统也是外置的，可以方便地重新布线。
在空间处理上，我们利用这种极简手法，强调原有空间的特点：宽敞通风，享有周围乡村景观。较大的房间设有双层挑高空间，照明和通风系统纵横交错。所有内部空间都朝北，以最大化漫射光，并将视线集中在旅舍的公园而非附近的高速公路立交桥上。几处精心布置的圆形孔洞穿透内墙，在不同空间之间建立视觉联系。
布局通过建立不同隐私层级来运作：公园、酒吧/餐厅的大厅、宿舍房间 “每个房间都有与床位分开的公共区域”，以及设有部分遮挡以保障个人隐私的床位。
Conversion of an abandoned barn into an hostel/bar/club. Born during pandemic times, the project is strikingly simple, creating light and spacious environments with mezzanine levels and double height spaces. All the furniture was designed by RCAA to be fully modular, dismountable and adaptable to future changes in use.
The project is an adaptive reuse of an existing farm building that had been previously partially converted into offices and then abandoned mid-works. Our client wanted to transform it into a hostel, club and co-working space.
The location of the building on the outskirts of the city of Treviso, if somewhat unappealing, was perfect because of its proximity to the local airport, which is within walking distance. The unsympathetic context called for the creation of interesting spaces within, despite the requirement for maximisation of the number of beds and sufficient technical/ancillary spaces.
The building was an empty shell, with two open plan storeys and a mezzanine level left with no finishes. As we were working on the concept, the pandemic hit. So for the following 12 months it was impossible to determine if, when and how we would have started travelling again. Neither we nor the clients knew in which form this hostel would be allowed to open, but the go-ahead was given nevertheless.
We took this uncertainty as a starting point for the design. We wanted to design a place that could fully serve its intended purpose, but that could be also converted into something else with minimal effort. Resilience and adaptability.
We erected as few partitions as possible and kept all the wet functions (bathrooms, kitchens etc) in the existing positions, as well as maximising the use of peripheral and exposed M&E. This way we not only kept the budget under control but created the possibility for the internal layout to be rearranged, wholly or in parts, without requiring major demolitions.
We used the same floor finish throughout the building. We used a bright yellow tint to unify and light up the spaces, a magic carpet of sorts that is the real protagonist of the interiors. This was spaces could be rearranged and subdivided without the need for re-paving, and economy of scale again meant significant savings.
In order to do this, we chose to use industrial-grade resin, which is mechanically resistant, waterproof and can withstand professional cleaning products.
The golden-yellow tint was chosen for its warm character, for the quality of light it brings and for its connection to the gold used in the flag of the one Republic of Venice, which is still the emblem of the Region. It is the only colour used throughout the building, as a unifying gesture.
The furniture too is custom-designed to be fully modular. The lockers can be rearranged in any number, bolted together to create partitions or strung in any form, like lego bricks. The same goes for the shelving units, which can be hung from the walls or stacked up to create bookshelves.
The bed structures can be arranged into single, double or bunk beds, and each component (base, structure, screens, integrated reading light, even the number tag) can be detached to be cleaned or substituted.
The tables can be split into desks, coupled to accommodate small or large groups. They can also be fixed to the perimeter walls of the main bar to free the central space.
The reception desk, the info point and the canteen furniture can all be taken apart, be divided into smaller pieces and used for different functions.
The soft seating, designed in collaboration with studio Finemateria, is made of simple shapes carved out of special foam. Incredibly light, they can be stacked up or bunched together to create different lounging arrangements by the guests themselves.
All of the furniture elements were custom-designed and produced locally, by companies within a 25 km radius. And they are all made of steel and finished with industrial-grade powder-coating to be easily cleaned, something which was a must in Covid times.
The lighting system is based on off-the-shelf components, with all externally routed cables, that again can be rearranged with minimal effort and no demolitions. The ventilation system too is external and can be easily rerouted.
Spatially we took advantage of this essential approach and emphasised the qualities of the existing space: large and airy, with views of the surrounding countryside. The larger rooms have double-height spaces, crisscrossed by the lighting and the ventilation system. The internal spaces are all oriented towards the North, to maximise diffuse light and concentrate the views onto the hostel’s park, rather than the nearby highway flyover. A few, carefully placed circular holes puncture the internal walls, establishing visual connections between the different spaces.
The layout works by establishing different levels of privacy: the park, the large hall of the bar/restaurant, the dormitory rooms, each with its communal area for the guest, separated from the beds, and the beds themselves which are partially screened to allow for some personal privacy.
