The new building project in Rome’s Primavalle district is part of the Neighborhood Contracts program for redeveloping the area and in some cases restoring residential buildings that have been demolished due to instability. This intervention regards the construction of a building of 18 flats in Peter Bembo Road, in Primavalle neighbourhood in Rome. The old building was already demolished since ten years. The new building, incorporating the size and massing of the existing one, wants to have a better integration in the environmental context, to be energetically sustainable (the so-called “7 litters house” which refers to the amount of energy needed to heat it) and to have a strong character of perceptive and usable experimentation.

Seven litre house. Amount of energy needed to heat it.

The idea in fact proposes to articulate the living spaces according to the renewed conditions of housing the house, both as an exclusively private place, and as an area where to carry out an activity also working. To this end, some design choices have been improved, such as the use of some outdoor areas and a strong integration of the green element, the rationalization and flexibility of the spaces, the experimental use of color.

 

In this sense, the living room, as the central space of the house, delimited by equipped walls, becomes the “heart” of the dwelling on which the other rooms with openings overlook.

Social housing

The relationship between the building and the city is mitigated on the main front by a large green wall, an urban filter at the same time artificial and natural composed of a screening system with colored lamellae, with shrubs and climbing plants that becomes a green landmark for the district.

 

The intervention aims to interpret new strategies of living, focusing on the mixité, on flexibility, on the organization of common spaces, on the use of color and on the adaptability of the accommodation to different and changing needs over time.
