BORGO DEI LAVANDAI
Strada Comunale di Bertolla, Torino, Italy
A residential complex on the edges of the historical small village of Bertolla, located in North-East Turin. The area is renown for its thick and articulated web of canals, in service to the several water-based local activities. The new housing complex development provides the opportunity for the revitalization process of a urban fabric partly altered in its original characteristics. The plan includes a significant and vast public park that will later be connected with another project involving the area to the north.
The new cycle and pedestrian paths complement the existing and underway routes along the Po river. The housing complex hosts 98 apartments, divided into five buildings; the entrances, the garage and the mechanical rooms are located in the basement. The three to four storey-high facades define an open courtyard plan oriented towards the Superga hill. The hydrogeological restrictions the site is subjected to have provided the opportunity to investigate and propose non conventional settlement models in regards to the relationship between external areas and buildings.
One of the buildings of the complex has a wooden structure, made by the x-lam technology. It is the first multi-storey building in Piedmont and it is an interesting example of Green Architecture with a high energy efficiency.
