About This File

6x6 Lot.

The Alessi tower was a building consisting of a three-floor tower with a terrace used as a lookout lounge. It was built with an eclectic architecture of exotic taste; it was located in Catania, Sicily. The building was built at the end of the nineteenth century, on a project by the architect Carlo Sada, on behalf of Salvatore Alessi, owner of the homonymous garden. According to some, the style recalled the eclectic language (Eclectism-Catanese liberty) in the Gothic style.  It was demolished in 1963. 

La torre Alessi era un edificio costituito da un serbatoio d'acqua per irrigazione e da una sovrastruttura a torre a tre elementi con funzione di salotto belvedere. Fu realizzata con un'architettura eclettica di gusto esotico; si trovava a Catania, in Sicilia. L'edificio fu costruito alla fine dell'Ottocento, su progetto dell'architetto Carlo Sada, per conto di Salvatore Alessi, proprietario dell'omonimo giardino. Lo stile, secondo alcuni, richiamava il linguaggio eclettico (Eclettismo-liberty catanese)in stile goticizzante. Fu demolita nel 1963.

Very nice work. I particularly like the tear-drop shaped windows.

This lot comes with a fairly wide variety of uses - urban park, rural point of interest, lookout tower are just a few ideas. The modeling is modest but the staircase and rooftop cupola catch the eye. The texturing is thoughtful and well done. The lush greenery of the lot offsets the stone textures nicely (the wood deck at top helps as well). Overall, it's aesthetically pleasing, visually appealing and a nice addition to older communities or neighborhoods. 5/5.
