The installation of a lifting platform within a heritage-listed historical Palazzo requires a perfect balance between technological innovation and respect for its architectural identity. This project integrated a self-supporting structure made of etched glass and galvanized, satin-finished steel, featuring a zinc sheet casing, ensuring minimal visual impact and seamless harmonization with the historical context. The intervention fits precisely into the existing lightwell, ensuring accessibility without altering the aesthetic and material value of the building. A project that translates the concept of removing architectural barriers into concrete action, enhancing the usability of the spaces while honoring their history.
