Magazzino Italian Art is a private initiative conceived by Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu to house their collection of postwar Italian Art. The commission consisted in a full renovation of an existing 11,000 square-foot building and an additional 14,000 square feet of new construction. The starting approach was simple: the existing L-shaped building could be completed into a rectangle with a central courtyard.This allowed us to propose an independent structure parallel to the longer part of the existing building estableshing a dialogue between the new and existing building.
