LIBERTY STUDENT HOUSE

It is the story of a student looking for a home and of a developer who transformed in an improbably short time the obsolete pomp and circumstance of an old hotel into a modern student conjugated with a youthful language.
It is the language of an entire building that, right from the variously colored windows of the exterior elevation, debuts attractive values.
It is the irony of an austere reception with marble columns demythicized by garish fluorescent colors of busts of Latin cultural figures.
It is the compositional freedom of yellow seats scattered in the common lobby that, recomposed, form the word LIBERTY, as nomenclature assumed as a synonym for freedom.

It is a fountain that in the outdoor terrace incessantly spouts water on a suitably blue-colored floor.
It is the identity style of the cold and hot concept of a cooking area that, at refrigerators and ovens, fields the word HOT, with letters wrapped in a conducting copper wire, and the word COLD, with a cold celestial color now crystallized.
It is the differentiation of the corridors, windows leaning into the exterior facade, entrance doors and rooms, each painted by different colors divided by floor.
It is the creation of a kind of colored belt that, in the rooms, surmounts, with the same colors visible only from the exterior elevation, everything it encounters in its path: walls, floor, furniture, curtains, knick-knacks, stucco.
It is a fairy tale.
But it is also a true story.
