Restoration of a XVth century mill in the Rigossa River Valleytradition in transitionThe building is located in the quiet valley between
Longiano and Montiano, two towns in the center of Romagna, in the north-east of Italy. Surronded by a wonderfull garden, both the enviromental quality and the view from the site are remarkable. Historical testimonies point the foundation of an early mill at XVth century, although several transformations occoured with time and the oldest part that we can appreciate today belongs to the XIXth century. The latest adjunctions (the shed and the piggery on the north side, the extension and elevation of the main building on the west) are related to the conversion in a farm house at the beginning of the last century. The water stream wich originally moved the wheels of the mill was interrupted and a tank was created just in front of the shed. Starting from the needs of the buyer to convert the fabric in a restaurant, the purpose is to regenarate the whole place (conceiving the building and the surrounding garden as a part of the valley) and to favourite many diff erent kinds of use.The new perimetric wall beside the street, which accomodates the parking area, thanks to the changes of height and the spread of gates leads to specific perspectives from the building to the landscape and vice versa.The building is reorganized to accomodate a restaurant in the groundfloor and three rooms for visitors upstairs.The volume of the old porch (now converted in dining room) is extended to obtain a new space to enter the restaurant and complete the historical process of addition of elements.Here the incompatible concrete slab roof is demolished and substituted by a glassed roof resting on a new wooden internal structure. Both the glassed roof and the annex are covered by a wooden brise soleil, in reference to the traditional constructive system of roofs in Romagna’s countryside. The current tank is enlarged with wide terraced steps of soil, creating an open air theater where the water is put in motion again, as the life of the entire place.

Placed at the top of a 37.000 m2 property hillside in the wonderful Farneto forest reserve, the building is dedicated to enhance creativity in the holistic embrace of nature and contemporary architecture, energy and quiet; developing meeting opportunities, exchange of experiences and culture and createing events and workshop having art as a protagonist.
developed with and for:
The hotel hosts fourteen luxury rooms, an auditorium, a restaurant and the owners residence. The airy convivial spaces allow the creation of shows, events, cultural meetings; while the workshops, in the basement, allow the organization of courses aimed to the various arts: photography, painting, sculpture, mosaic, music, gardening and cooking.
The wooden framed construction has the aim to reach the Passivhaus standard (15 kW/m2y) and the planning process was preceded by a deep microclimate analysis of the place which, located on the gentle slope of a hillside, off ers precious occasions to trigger some energetic containment strategies. The analysis of summer and winter solar route, of the main winds, especially slope winds and sea breezes, contributed to pinpoint the optimal direction of the building.
The high quality of living comfort of the building is granted by checking every detail. Air cleanness, temperature, relative humidity, natural winds. Especially natural light was studied with advanced simulation softwares to foresee the optimal light in every room.
The building is equipped with geothermal heat storage systems, controlled mechanical ventilation and high performance coeffi cient shutters and walls. Highly important is the equipment of an autonomous thermal energy production system using vegetable fuels coming from the park itself and from nearby estates.
The house is located in the gentle hills of Bertinoro, famous for its historical citadel and its wineries, and it is surrounded by a large olive tree grove and a vineyard. The project is for a young couple and it consists in a global renovation of an old holiday home built with concrete prefabricated panels and metal structure. The fi rst fl oor and the roof will be totally replaced by a wooden structure, retracing the pre-existing building outline. The austerity of geometries is domesticated by using a larch wood cladding, understood as a fragment of the landscape, almost pre-existing. Finally, a large window is placed at the eastern side, from wich you can enjoy a marvellous landscape.
renovation in the groveHOLIDAY HOME
This project consists of a complete renovation of a penthouse of 140 m2 inside ‘Palazzo degli Uffi ci’, a historical residential building in Cesena city center, including seismic consolidation, internal space redistribution and detailed interior design. The idea of the project arises from the wonderful landscape upon which the building overlooks, with the intent to shape the interiors as if they were pinhole rooms that could allow the intrusion of the city inside the house and at the same time invite the viewer to observe outside.In order to create a single, bright and large living room, separate from the kitchen by a sliding partition, the project involves the
reversal of the day-night areas compared to the existing solution, and foresee three new bathrooms/toilets, a laundry and a walk-in closet in the blind side of the apartment as well as three bedrooms with a wonderful view on the landscape on the other side.
All the procedures involved in the refurbishing process employ dry technologies, including slab’s enforcement, made through the use of about 3,000 coupling screws between new wooden plank and the existing slab.

current situation
“..we never have pure space in front of us,not for a single day, such as fl owers open
endlessly into. Always there is world,and never the Nowhere without the Not: the pure,
unwatched-over, that one breathes andendlessly knows, without craving. As a child
loses itself sometimes (...), pure as its outward gaze.”

current situation
At the edges of the urban 60s and 70s expansion weave, the house is the result of the dialogue between the geometries of the ancient roman reticulate and the visual axis that from the lot reaches the wonderful abbey of Santa Maria del Monte.This particular and unique city-generated intersection is transferred in architecture by shaping a dualism between an auster and linear external shell and the slanting open space internal distribution, as to build a joint, a point of convergence between genius loci
(exteriors) and genius saeculi (interiors). The envelope is understood as a fragment of the landscape, almost pre-existing, whereas interior’s spaces and views are seen as an anchor point between the city’s history and the clients requirements. A long bricks-made diaphragm is the perceptive limit between the town and the dwelling, between public and private space, becoming also a chest for the family daily activities, organized at the ground fl oor.
On the other hand, the areas reserved to the bedrooms are located on the second fl oor, hidden behind a curtain of copper and connected to the living area by a wide double-height space.Finally, a large glass wall is placed at the southern side (8 x 5.5 m) and it has a key role in completing the project becoming the glowing doorway through which exteriors and interiors mingle.The project meets the requirements of both Passivhaus and LEED® standards.

TECHNOLOGY
Regarding the census conducted by the Municipality of Cesena in September 2013 , the project turned out to be the most performant house on the municipal territory.It abides by the LEED protocol for Homes and the requirements of Passivhaus Institute for Passive House certifi cation. The low-carbon function of the house is obtained throughout the optimization the structures for natural ventilation, the seasonal calibration of solar intakes and the development of an effi cient outside covering.The thermal requirements are 9 kWh/m2 for heating and 11 kWh/m2 for cooling and it is calculated using dynamic energy simulation.The addition of photovoltaic sensors coverage also leads to an overproduction of energy to be used to charge the electric car.The combined use of contemporary technologies, wooden structure and, when possible, the use of materials with low embodied energy, helps the house maximize the effi ciency and reduce the environmental impact.

alma.domusself-suffi cient and transportable residential units for Solar Decathlon 2014
The project is an investigation into a possible application of the University of Bologna at the international competition Solar Decathlon Europe 2014. This competition involves the construction of a residential unit that complies with the highest standards of quality, valued according to the ten categories of judgment guided by the obtainment of the highest energy surplus.
The proposed design concept involves the use of passive strategies and innovative technological systems to achieve the best comfort within the building, reducing energy consumption and maximizing the electrical contributions. The integration between passive and active systems, according to the annual dynamic energetic analysis of building’s behavior in Madrid (venue of the competition), involves an overproduction of electricity of +8.070 kWh.
The constitutive aspects of the project are:
a) Passive energy strategies:A detailed study on heat transfer by natural ventilation, heart of the project, as well as the optimization of the thermal inertia of partitions and closures has been developed.b) Streamlining of active strategies:Technological components and engineering have been incorporated into a system designed to be responsive to the dynamic behavior of the building thanks to automation and control systems.c) Transport and assembly:The building is composed of three-dimensional pre-assembled modules, transported by three traditional trucks and aggregated on site. The assembly process in the factory is optimized to reduce waste material in order to enable a production as effi cient as possible.d) Eco-effi ciency:In addition to emploiyng low carbon recyclable and recycled materials, the building does not need to penetrate the soil to anchor the foundations, thus presenting itself as a prototype for residential temporary settlements on reversible lands, or brownfi elds. e) Urban density:There are numerous diff erent aggregation options of the modules: residential, commercial, sports equipments, archaeological sites, low-cost temporary housing and small urban developments.
The project consists of the redevelopment of the historic center of San Piero in Bagno, a small built up area at the base of the Romagna Apennines, along the Savio river valley.
The proposal trying to combine the drafting of a new network of pedestrian and cycling paths with the revitalization of the historic square, an ancient open-air market for the Corzano Castel, not far from San Piero.
The project addresses the issues of the relationship between contemporary and historic architecture, as a result of an extensive analysis of the existing social housing compound, it aims to be a light and a balanced urban intervention, trying to respect and underline the historical palimpsest of the village and seeking almost a gently disappearance inside it.
