Project goals
The project aims to redevelop a disused industrial site in Rezzato, transforming it into a modern, sustainable residential complex well connected to the surrounding area. The plan includes two buildings with twelve units each, featuring green spaces, parking, and new pedestrian paths. The goal is to create a high-quality living environment, focusing on urban integration, usability, and energy efficiency.
Site conditions
The area was previously occupied by industrial buildings. Now underused and disconnected from the urban fabric, the site is located in a mainly residential zone, appearing fragmented and lacking functional connections.
Design approach
The project involves demolishing the existing buildings and constructing two new residential blocks of three above-ground floors. Each building will contain two- and three-bedroom apartments, served by staircases and elevators, with access from a new one-way street and a central green courtyard. A metal canopy connects the buildings architecturally and covers the parking areas. Interior layouts are rational, with living rooms facing southwest and bedrooms facing northeast. The design restores a morphological and functional connection with the surrounding urban context, improving the overall environmental quality.
Details and materials
The residential complex will feature modern, sober architecture with natural-colored façades and clean lines. Each unit will have spacious terraces, large windows for natural light, and high-quality finishes. The project emphasizes sustainability, with efficient heating and cooling systems, solar panels, and solutions to reduce energy consumption. Landscaped outdoor areas will include pedestrian paths, parking, and green spaces, creating a safe, comfortable, and pleasant neighborhood.
