San Gerardo

Monday, 03 July 2017

The San Gerardo project is made up of two multi-family buildings and three single-family buildings.
 The two condominium buildings are identical in size with three floors above ground and a basement floor used as a garage.
The architecture of the artefacts takes into account the surrounding environment and is oriented towards maintaining the residential typologies of the neighbourhood while revisiting the forms and materials in a contemporary way.
 In the definition of the buildings, a precise indication came from the site analysis. The depth of the apartments was deliberately reduced to allow for the passage of light between the south-facing elevation (naturally illuminated) and the opposite to the North, with the insertion of large openings so as not to penalize the views (without sunshine) but, on the contrary, to enjoy a great panoramic view.
 The proposed development kept factors of sustainability in consideration, both in terms of the materials used and savings, in terms of energy efficiency. The buildings are in Energy Class A (building enclosure efficiency, material efficiency, efficiency of the facilities) and equipped with a dual flow ventilation system with heat recovery. The flat roof was equipped with an extensive green roof to further reduce the solar intake in the summer and delay the entry of rainwater into the ground. A photovoltaic system produces electricity. The structure of the buildings is completely in wood.
