Nuvola 75
Solignano Nuovo, Italy
Seventy-five prefabricated modules form the generating core of this office building, designed for Sistem Costruzioni, a company specialized in modular timber construction and sustainable building solutions, based in Solignano, Modena. These modules, transformed from temporary modules into a functional and contemporary architecture, make a clear statement of intent: working with what already exists, giving new value to materials through design.
Using prefabricated and reused elements stems from a vision rooted in the circular economy, where reuse becomes a driver of innovation, reducing the environmental impact of construction and accelerating the building process. The project fully reflects the company's approach, always oriented towards sustainable, modular, and timber-based systems, promoting a more forward-thinking building culture.
From a technical perspective, the prefabricated modules have been comprehensively upgraded in terms of energy performance: internally, insulated drywall cladding has been added to improve thermal and acoustic efficiency; externally, insulated sandwich panels have been applied, ensuring protection and living comfort while maintaining the recognizable modular structure.
On the outside, a metal structure envelops the main volume and supports a series of micro-perforated panels acting as sunshades. This structure is not independent, but anchored directly to the prefabricated modules, enhancing the seismic performance of the entire building. At the same time, it is detached from the façade, leaving a wide gap that allows for maintenance access and enhances the architectural character.
The metal skin is interrupted at one corner of the building, where the main entrance to the reception area is located. This interruption creates a sort of architectural portal, clearly marking the access point and defining a threshold between exterior and interior. The reception itself is a double-height space, amplifying the sense of openness and welcome while offering a representative environment that reflects the company’s identity.
The micro-perforated panels, all in light blue metal, are not merely technical elements—they form a dynamic skin: though uniform in color, their varying angles and orientations create chromatic variations, producing shifts in light, depth, and movement. The choice of light blue serves a dual purpose: it echoes the company's visual identity and reflects the sky’s shades, helping the building blend into its surroundings.
Completing the project is a new extension, distinguished by a fully glazed curtain wall façade that deliberately contrasts with the materiality of the prefabricated modules, highlighting transparency and lightness.
Structurally, the extension features a steel load-bearing frame and XLAM timber floor slabs, produced in-house by Sistem Costruzioni. The entire construction was assembled dry, following an advanced prefabrication logic that reduced on-site time and environmental impact while ensuring high precision and sustainability standards.
This intervention is a practical example of how modular and sustainable architecture, through creative reuse and timber integration, can offer not only fast and efficient solutions, but also strong expressive value, where ethics and aesthetics meet in a coherent and distinctive design.
