In the 1990s Matteo Robiglio and Isabelle Toussaint, the creators and inhabitants of this loft in Turin, operated in the Avventura Urbana collective, a company specializing in participatory design for the regeneration of peripheral zones. A few years later, in 2011, together they founded TRA (Toussaint Robiglio Architetti), and almost at the same time they developed and built this new family dwelling for themselves.
So the urban adventure continues, we might say, channeled into the complex dynamics of shared processes that lead to a more personal dimension, where the discussions between inhabitants and stakeholders are replaced by the option of buying, renovating and living in San Salvario, Turin: a creative, multiethnic and traditional district, all at the same time, conveniently located between the rail station and the Valentino park that runs at a short distance from the Po River.
