In 2016, following the earthquakes that affected the area, the kiosk bar located in the green area of Viale Trieste in Apiro, owned by the municipality, was severely damaged. The building, dating back to the 1970s, was an important gathering place for both locals and tourists, and its reconstruction was an opportunity to improve the services offered to the community and enhance the surrounding green space.
The project involved demolishing the old kiosk bar and subsequently rebuilding a new structure. The pavilion’s layout was designed irregularly to adapt to the profile of the urban park on Via Trieste. The main facade stands out due to its extensive glass frontage along the entire length of the pavilion, allowing for panoramic views of the green area. The wooden brise-soleil, inspired by the shapes of tree branches, serve as decorative elements for the windows and help protect the interior from the sun.
The main facade is free of pillars and fully glazed on the two principal sides, facing the urban park and Via Trieste, respectively. On the west side, a wooden lattice with a geometric star pattern was installed, capturing the light of the sunset and reflecting it inside the pavilion.
The new kiosk bar's structure was built using reinforced concrete, and the facades are clad in a white material, giving the building an elegant and modern appearance. Decorative sun-shading panels, placed in front of the glass windows, reflect the characteristics of the surrounding trees.
The new kiosk bar has taken on a central role in the Apiro community, representing an example of contemporary architecture that harmoniously blends with the urban environment. The structure was designed to combine functionality and aesthetics, creating a welcoming and comfortable space for the local community.
