The project proposal for the re-qualification and functional reconversion of “Seminario degli Stimmatini”, located on the Verona’s northern Hills, borns from a clear client request, which elaborated the hypothesis of its transformation in a luxury resort with wellness and SPA centre. Our hypothesis was to focus on the enhancement of some characteristics of the original layout and on the creation of different design themes, working on the merging of concepts such as function and emotion, key elements for a project linked to luxury and exclusivity. The project follows a path in which we strived to recreate the atmosphere of a renaissance hamlet, an urban settlement through as a rational and symmetric project, in a system composed by the square, the church and the Italian gardens which extends around the main building and are oriented to the city. The building develops on six floors starting from the basement, where have been positioned parking, wellness and SPA centre and the restaurant with panoramic view. The ground floor is characterized by the hall, the coffees bar and by walking path getting to the rooms with view on the swimming pool. Goring & Straja studio won the competition.
