In a small town of the Province of Savona the architects of Studio Marco Ciarlo Associati and Studio Daniele have recently restored a building called “Il Faro” located between the Via Aurelia and the beach.
The project consists of a main prismatic body and a secondary volume adhering to the south-east elevation, reduced to a state of ruin; in addition, starting from the rigorous respect of the existing form, the intervention aims to maintain the sculptural dimension of the structure and the layout of the existing windows.
On the secondary volume, heavily modified over time, the project proposes light misalignments while a deep slit on the seaside is made on the connecting line between the main body and the smaller one, to create some loggias.

Finally, the new architectural solution seeks a formal and chromatic relationship with the landscape to configure a new identity image consisting of a monolith generated directly from the sand and rocks on which it is supported.
