Fatima House, Palladian residential building in Sliema, Malta.
Fatima House presents geometric proportions throughout its two floors, with a limestone facade displaying columns and symmetrical window arrangements at the front elevation point.
Construction of Fatima House in 1895 occurred during Malta's architectural transformation period, when European styles influenced local building methods and urban development patterns.
The structure combines Italian Palladian principles with Maltese building traditions, displaying the Mediterranean interpretation of classical European architectural elements through local craftsmanship.
The building stands at coordinates 35.912194, 14.502167 in Sliema, allowing visitors to examine its exterior features while exploring the surrounding commercial district.
The limestone construction materials create a characteristic golden hue that changes throughout the day as sunlight interacts with the classical architectural elements.

Renzo Piano, born in Genoa in 1937, has developed an architectural language over five decades that combines technical precision with human scale. His buildings are characterized by transparent facades, visible structural elements, and the integration of natural light. The Centre Pompidou in Paris, completed in 1977 with Richard Rogers, displays building services on the exterior. The Whitney Museum in New York uses industrial materials within a residential neighborhood. The Shard in London reaches 309 meters with a glass facade that reflects daylight. His cultural buildings connect function with urban context. The Fondation Beyeler in Riehen near Basel sits within a park with glass walls between interior and exterior spaces. The Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome comprises three concert halls with different acoustics. Kansai Airport in Osaka stands on an artificial island with a 1.7-kilometer terminal. Piano received the Pritzker Prize in 1998 for his work.
