DAAA Haus: The project of Anthea Preziosi jewellery represents an urban redevelopment intervention in one of the most important commercial streets of Ragusa. The building was designed to be coherent with the little building next door that dated back to the early Twenties, which has been heavily renovated during the past years and has lost most of its historical features. Part of the first floor, was converted into a terrace, a stunning signature feature of the building due to its trees, greenery and mesh surroundings. The use of thin lines and geometric shapes on the facade suggests a sense of rhythm and draws the eye, creating a more formal atmosphere.
