The building completion of Tronchetto Island, commissioned to H&A Associates, was directed toward a project that redefines the waterfront and the volumes of new construction in relation to the existing pre-existing buildings.

The design of the new building complex for the construction of a 3- and 4-star hotel for the B&B Hotels brand was directed toward the composition of architectural volumes articulated dynamically at the plan level. The use of face brick was taken up as a common element in Venetian architecture and also present in some typologies already built on the island itself. The final effect is that of a series of building artifacts with a pattern of broken lines that are also taken up by rotations of the facades, creating dynamism in a complex that risked the excessive monumentality given by the volumes allowed by the plan address of the area.

The project involved the construction of a hotel with 324 rooms on the Isola Nuova del Tronchetto in Venice.The building consists of two buildings and a transverse connection surmounted by a large metal pergola that marks the main entrance.
The large central breakfast room, as a barycentric space compared to the whole complex, faces an internal courtyard and relates with the two lateral buildings.

The irregular phoromentrics and the broken pattern of the eaves frame create a dynamic of the building’s frontages that dialogue with the pre-existing features of Tronchetto Island. The dark base and the varied composition create an effect of “detachment” from the ground in contrast with the broken lines of the upper frame.

NH Collection VILLA VENICE, Murano, Venice: 4-star superior structure Architecture and interior design project for the functional recovery of the former De Majo furnace in Murano. The project involved the construction (completed in 2023) of a 4-star superior hotel with 104 rooms, enhancing the existing volumes of a furnace abandoned for many years with great attention to the artisanal aspect of glass. The project focused on both the interpretation of space and the use of materials. The building being restored extends from the Fondamenta Navagero to the lagoon with views of Sant’Erasmo and Le Vignole. The firm was responsible for the final and executive design of all architectural, structural and interior design aspects, following the construction and art direction until the work was completed.

The project concerns a 4-star hotel with around 250 rooms near Venice Marco Polo airport.
Construction technology will focus on prefabrication in wood, following the needs of sustainability and energy saving.
The lot is located within an existing green area, near a nursery and a swimming pool which will be used by the new hotel.
