Work nearing completion on a new wooden house - Belvedere Ostrense (AN)

We are almost at the finish line. Only a few details are missing before we can declare work on this new glulam semi-detached house as complete.

The house is located in Belvedere Ostrense (AN), on agricultural land that offers a breathtaking view of the typical landscape of the Marche hinterland.

The façade brings to mind the traditional materials used for farmhouses in the Marche region and blends harmoniously into its surroundings, combining contemporary and traditional elements. The main apartment is on two levels, for a total of around 186 square metres, with the living area on the ground floor and the sleeping area on the first floor.

The secondary residential unit is also on two levels, with an area of around 150 square metres.

The entire building has been designed to have the highest performance in terms of energy savings and use of environmentally sustainable materials, using the "Subissati Platform Frame" construction technology. The aim of the project is to achieve an architectural and green building quality capable of combining and linking, in an integrated project: context and architecture, technologies and materials, spatial and functional features.

Bio-architecture and reduction of the human impact on the ecosystem are among the factors behind sustainable redevelopment and recovery policies. Redefining "abandoned" lots, bringing portions of the urban fabric back to life, qualifying energy and consumption, has in itself a positive environmental objective (and produces an impact). So not only is further land not being used, but rather spaces are being reclaimed and new places of potential social aggregation are being created, forging new links between parts of the territory that were previously not well-defined and balanced.

The project was conceived with the aim of creating a building that not only respected the environment, but was also an example of integration between modern architecture and local tradition. The glulam used not only offers extraordinary strength and durability, but also contributes to significant thermal and acoustic insulation, making the house comfortable in all seasons.

The use of state-of-the-art technologies has enabled us to achieve high energy efficiency while minimising environmental impact. This project is not just a place to live, but a tangible example of how sustainable architecture can contribute to a better future.
