Introduction to projects

A decade ago (after 3 years of collaboration with Studio Bosi, Voghera, Italy) I established Nico Papalia Studio,

architecture practice based in Mornico Losana, (PV) Italy.

Since then I am working on a wide spectrum of projects including architecture, private interiors, retails, and products.

My involvement in the project is from concept to completion on site through all the technical and bureaucratic steps

that lead to the success of an architectural work. I coordinate the enterprises and trying to experiment with new

building techniques to improve the work and reduce time and costs of works execution.

Since 2007 I’m using only dry construction systems with low environmental impact: Aquapanel Knauf, wooden balloon

frame system, the system in X-lam wood. I had the opportunity to use this environmental friendly systems, expecially

Aquapanel Knauf, with some of my clients for whom I made some villas.

TO FOLLOW YOU WILL FIND A SELECTION OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT WORKS.

Pub – restaurant, Casteggio (PV) – Italy.

Dimension: 160.00 smq (interior)

The restaurant has been built on the ground floor of a nineteenth-

century building.

Design focused on every single piece of furniture: tables, chairs,

coatings, the cup for tea and coffee. All of these items have been

designed and hand-drawn, and then made by local craftsmen with

quality wood glass and iron.

the design looks back to the twenties and thirties, to the language of

Italian Liberty style, to the iron’s architecture. The guests were

amazed by an elevated rail tracks on which was blowing the little

model of an old train, scale 1: 22.5. Its location, very unusual,

seemed to mess with the roars and the splendors of the steam

engine. Today we would call it a narrative environment.

like a musical instrument: the ideal configuration of the room is no

longer a given, but also become a variable. The concert room, semi-

arena shaped, the system of elevators and acoustic ceiling,

introduces a large number of variables that make this building truly a

flexible tool. The sound combines the functional flexibility.
