The building complex object of the recovery project was built in 1913 and consists of two buildings, subject to monumental restrictions and intended to accommodate new housing units and a space dedicated to the “place of memory” with the aim of a general restoration. and renovation.

The palace, formerly the seat of the Austro-Hungarian, Italian and German gendarmerie, was from December 1944 to April 1945 the seat of the Special Inspectorate of Public Security of Venezia Giulia which was responsible for numerous crimes and particular violence. The intervention therefore had to reconcile a new intended use for residential purposes with the presence of the monument and its preservation as a place of memory.

The complex consists of two buildings separated by an internal courtyard, the building n°6, overlooking via Cologna, and the building n°8 reachable through the entrance of n°6. The building n°8 is also equipped with a small courtyard at the back.

The two buildings are developed for three and four floors above ground and were built with vertical bearing structures in stone and solid bricks while the floors are in wood and the roof is pitched with a traditional red tile roof. For both buildings, the internal connection system is respected, the vertical paths of the stairwells and the horizontal paths of the corridors perform the function of distribution reference and are adapted to contemporary standards with the inclusion of a lift in both buildings.

The facade on via Cologna of the building n°6 is characterized by a high plinth in artificial stone while the ground floor is treated with characteristic parallel horizontal bands in plaster, the two upper floors are also finished with smooth plaster. The façade is marked by two rows of windows placed at regular intervals. Each window has a molded frame in artificial stone and is protected at the top by a linear slope which is also molded. The door, made of artificial stone, is framed by two flat pilasters on which a false architrave rests, above which two Corinthian-style corbels support a pediment with a curvilinear profile.

The facade on the internal courtyard of the building at n° 8. it is characterized by the presence of some new balconies and is treated with plaster, like the facade on the internal courtyard of building N°6.

The apartment is located at the first floor of a building from the 18th century. It has a corner exposition with a nice view on a big garden in the city center of Trieste. The interior disposition of connected rooms with corridor and basic sanitary services, had to be adapted to the living and working needs of a large family: the creation of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a big living room with the possibility of using a part of it for work meetings, an open kitchen and a recording studio.

The new interior functional concept follows the example of a bunch of grapes: the connection spaces are reduced to the entry atrium and to the bedrooms’ corridor. The bathrooms, of which the one next to the entry atrium is also used as bathroom for the living zone of the apartment, are located in the darker area of the apartment, in order to leave the best exposure, to the garden and to the courtyard, to the bedrooms. On the left of the atrium are located the passages and open spaces: the living room with the open kitchen and with the area adaptable to small work meetings and the study with registration room and a second level for guests.

The innovations, besides reorganizing the inner spatial situation, have included the replacement of electrical and sanitary hydro-thermal systems, new installation of air conditioning, the replacement of the windows with restauration of the historical shutters, new doors, including some sliding doors, and all the finishing.

The apartment has been thoroughly re-designed in order to enhance its spatial and functional characteristics and implement the energetic performance.
The organization of the spaces is generated by the trapezoid outline: the central corridor, that leads to the various rooms of the flat, works, at the same time, as an separation between the night-zone and the living space. The first, with two master bedrooms, wardrobe and guest-bathroom, is oriented to the east, while the living space, composed of a rational kitchen space, corridor with pantry-cupboard and a further, more ample bathroom, overlooks the historic Basevi Garden.

Connective spaces (corridor and living) are equipped with sliding doors and stone floor, while the rooms are covered in wood.
The bathroom is realized in Carrara marble and mosaic of different sizes, while the main bathroom, largest, is covered in resin and porcelain stoneware.
External windows, which provide a lot of light to the rooms, have been performed on the original design with restoration of the shutters and with an improvement of the insulation characteristics.
The apartment also has new hydro-thermo-sanitary and cooling systems.
