An independent structure in dialog with the Villa Planta. A reinterpretation of the original Palladian order while using decoration as a way of separating the building from its surroundings. The result is an expressive, compact volume cleverly integrated into the new public space.

The clear independence of the new building in relation to the adjacent buildings reinforces the importance of the garden in the new Museum area and confers the building an independent and sober appearance.
