The accommodation "Art Hotel Varese has been recently achieved by restructuring the eighteenth nineteenth century mansion, with its adjoining park, located on the edge of the historical center of Varese, in the compendium of Varesine Villas (Villa Ponti, Villa Panza, Villa Mozzoni, Villa St. Francis).

Building have been carefully preserved the original scores bearing stone and brick, incorporating in the plant's 28 rooms, with bathrooms, and the block-glass elevator made of iron and wood.

The ground floor, of course, located reception areas, common areas for our guests and two rooms for people with disabilities.

The design philosophy that has inspired and guided the property and the project is to recover the concept of "Villa Country," in which the guest should feel at ease.

The techniques and materials used in renovation work has been based on the principles of bio architecture.

The roof is wood-frame pack and insulation type ventilated floorboards and cork insulation, having a transmittance of U 0.30.
The walls are original stone and brick filled with gravel 60 cm thick with plaster made from plaster interior perimeter insulation bio Company Gusset 5 cm thick.

Was chosen to isolate from the walls so as not to spoil the aesthetics of the facade and the rhythm of a stone in existence.
Even the internal walls of division between the rooms and corridors were made of brick, plastered brick rei 120 and always with plaster bio.

Particular attention was also placed sound insulation implemented through the use of organic materials suitable for the absorption of noise (in lattice panels, plasterboard, etc. ..).
The existing floors were mostly wood and have been restored and reinforced around half, with Peter Cox system to ensure the necessary flow rates, the relative resistance offenders and the acoustic characteristics of a suitable accommodation (56 db), always using materials such as organic substrates in cork and latex panels.
The other floors are no longer recoverable have been replaced with mixed gravel floors of traditional, while the area sometimes on the ground floor slab has been reinforced by the application of carbon fiber bi at the most critical points of static.
The floors of the rooms were made of oak with an underlying type of floating mat noise to give maximum comfort to the guest.
The ground floor spaces and bedrooms was employed "Medon Lombard" clay paving, size of 20x40 or 18x36 cm, already present in several rooms of the villa.
The windows of the rooms are wood and glass 70 mm camera for thermal and acoustical insulation (K 1.1).

Doors and windows on the ground floor were made of iron for both aesthetic reasons and security using profiles Jansen with rubber gaskets, always with insulating glass and shatterproof.
The electrical system was built under track and is an "intelligent" sensors present in the rooms and thus activate or deactivate the various plant functions (lights, air conditioning, etc. ..).

The electrical system is designed to be powered in the near future even with photovoltaic panels.
The heating and cooling has been achieved through the use of a system with fan coils in the air with the possibility for the customer to make the rules is the temperature that the fan speed.

In the bathroom and showers were used caldaserviette steel radiators.

The ground floor has been made a double heating system, underfloor low temperature and always with a dual function fancoil conditioning and heating.
The water and sanitary system is the traditional type, with main steel pipes and secondary plastic. It was realized a retrieval system of stormwater through pumps and tanks (25,000 liters) for the use of water both for irrigation and for power cassette toilet.

L 'hot water and space heating is produced by high efficiency condensing boiler fueled by natural gas boilers connected with special coils for the future installation of solar panels.
 
FURNITURE CONCEPTS
 
In the choice of furnishing a great job was done in direct contact with ownership in the person of Ms Paola Trotti.

The spirit that animated the design is the reception of the customer who should not be a client but a friend. People need to feel "at home" in a friendly environment.

One of the first ideas was to retrieve all the existing original doors and use them as headboards (28 existing gates and 28 rooms done, the cases of sight).

The rooms are decorated in a deliberately simple, but with a strong sign of rationality and cleaning materials using a few materials such as oak but classy and Medon.

For each room has been made a thorough study of ergonomics and space was done by a careful design of each piece, from craftsmen to make the study of trust and property.

He then produced desks solid oak floors and oak washstand washbasin always "supported" and large mirrors to expand the space.

You have entered no violation of such sessions transparent plastic mod Kartell.

The closets in some cases were used as the fifth to the bathroom area and have a central component of the space television.

Even the choice of beds, an essential element in a hotel, was accurate and it was decided to use elements of the tip of the firm Simmons to give maximum comfort to the customer.
The ground floor reception areas are designed and conceived as a large living room with floor Medon, leather sofas, fireplaces and antique frames retrieved.

The inclusion of tables in a rational and modern breakfast room, designed by the study with steel and glass combined with full sessions transparent mod. Mendini (exhibited at the MOMA in New), has been strongly desired to expand the space and emphasize the beauty of Medon Lombardi and stone fireplace
