Channelbeta -  Information Channel on Contemporary Architecture

versione italiana

The project Domus Malles shows how a careful and high quality architecture is even possible in a popular theme which became trite such as the residential construction that is too often faced in a speculative way, especially in the italian view.  It  is a "complex" building that manages to hold together and control more variables: pratical aspects, distribution, environmental, sustainability of materials, details,  quality of space, aesthetics, insertion in the context, invention of different typological solutions  and pluristoried gardens. The result is not an expected conclusion.

A residential policy is completely different from an exclusively building one. In respect of this point of view  Metrogramma studio accepted the assignment of Case & Dimore of building a little residential condominium in Bolzano. This is not a simple residential building but a complex which aims to add something new to the usual project of residential apartments especially in terms of quality and comfort of the single residences.

The relationship between the different typological proposals conceived as a landscape made of full and empty spaces and the energetic innovations has allowed to direct our efforts to the innovation of the residential intervention model.

One of the main characteristics of this architectural complex is that of not showing identical, repetitive residential typologies, but instead of offering different residences (despite the little residential intervention) which improve the residential offer: residences with gardens (on the ground floor), one-family villas (on the first floor), loggia apartments (on the third and fourth floor), attics with roof gardens (on the fifth floor).

Each apartment is provided with wide loggia-balconies and terraces on each floor.

Facades are rich of accurate details which give an idea of the inner heterogeneous subdivision. Our project make the best use of the area potentialities by maximizing the allowed cubature as on the PUC, i.e. with a maximum of 3592,68 cm.

This is with all respects a contemporary building which is harmoniously integrated in the surrounding area.

References to the Italian architecture modernism are evident: Ponti, Caccia, Dominioni, Libera.

The external covering has been conceived with "Carat" asbestos cement slabs set on a understructure.

All windows are picture or bow windows (Metrogramma-Sogeca patent). The northern facade is characterized by glass walls through which you can recognize stairs and apartment landing.

The whole complex has been conceived in order to obtain, as a minimum target, the Klimahaus type "b" certificate.
