"il parco dei gelsi"
residential complex

© Andrea Ceriani The project consists of nine apartments of different sizes, each of which has a privileged relationship with the outside thanks to the gardens and the large balconies. The project is based on the principles of bio-architecture with the aim of paying attention to harmony and balance. The basement, where the garages and technical rooms are located, will be built using traditional technologies based mainly on the use of reinforced concrete.

© Andrea Ceriani The load-bearing structure and the outer cladding of the apartments are made of wood, as wood is the natural element that humans have always lived together with and used to build houses. The wooden load-bearing elements will be dry assembled, which allows to carry out the work in lesser time and to enjoy all the benefits of wood, which, by its nature, is a renewable resource that can be used to promote agricultural economy and environmental protection.

© Andrea Ceriani By studying the climate and the characteristics of the area, the most suitable strategy was identified to save energy thanks to the use of high-performance materials while at the same time producing clean energy through a system of photovoltaic panels mounted on the roofs. No mechanized air conditioning system will be installed, as the internal microclimate is kept under control thanks to the structure of the building itself, both in the coldest months and in the summer.
