Casa alle Zattere

Casa alle Zattere, Multifamily residential in Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy.

Casa alle Zattere is a five-storey residential block on the Fondamenta delle Zattere facing the Giudecca canal, built 1958–1962 to Ignazio Gardella's design. Its main facade is clad in brick-graniglia plaster, with a white Vicenza marble base, balcony parapets and window frames. Windows and balconies sit irregularly, echoing old Venetian minor architecture; the portion next to the church of Santo Spirito drops to four floors, and service spaces are lit by small square windows set at 45 degrees.

The building was designed between 1958 and 1962 by architect Ignazio Gardella and replaced two deteriorating structures in the Dorsoduro neighborhood. This construction was part of the postwar renewal effort in the district and reflects mid-century approaches to urban development in Venice.

The facade's irregular window and balcony placement echoes the minor architecture of old Venetian houses, a deliberate reference by Ignazio Gardella. The main front is clad in brick-granule plaster, with the base, balcony parapets and window frames in white Vicenza stone. Service areas are lit by groups of small square windows set at 45 degrees.

The main facade faces the Giudecca Canal along the Fondamenta delle Zattere, while the side elevation runs along the narrow Calle dello Zuccaro; the eastern edge abuts the church of Santo Spirito. It is a private residence, so it can only be seen from the public waterfront and the calle.

The service areas are lit by clusters of small square windows set at a 45-degree angle, a detail easy to miss from the waterfront. The main facade's irregular window and balcony placement echoes the minor architecture of old Venetian houses, while the section next to the Chiesa dello Spirito Santo is set back and kept to four floors to separate the two buildings.
