VACATION HOME IN UMBRIA

RENOVATION, ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT, AND SEISMIC UPGRADE OF A BUILDING FROM THE EARLY 1990S SITUATED IN THE UMBRIAN HILLS

Nestled in a charming setting, this property, constructed in the early 1990s, is ready for a transformation. Initially lacking in functional internal space and energy efficiency considerations, it holds the potential for beauty. Presently, it requires a substantial remodel to fulfill the aspirations of the clients aiming to establish it as a top-tier tourism destination.

The project entails a comprehensive reorganization of both internal and external spaces, providing for two family units. The sleeping floors will boast private areas, while the living area and garden will be shared and designated for pedestrian use only.

Following the principles of bioclimatic architecture, the planned projects encompass strategies like harnessing natural ventilation during summer, capturing solar heat in winter, and implementing insulation using natural materials for the building envelope. These harmonized interventions, integrating the building envelope and systems, aim to achieve outstanding levels of comfort while significantly reducing energy consumption.
