The house subject to the intervention is located on the Pordenone foothills, arranged on two levels and inserted in an urban context characterized by houses arranged in line overlooking a public street and a common internal courtyard.
The existing property falls within the “Areas of historical interest subject to typological conservation” according to the PRGC, the general volumetric system dating back to 1800.
The radical renovation involved improving the performance of the property from both an energy and structural point of view, as well as recovering the attic, previously used as a warehouse, for residential purposes.
For the first point, insulation was created on the perimeter plasterboard walls, in order not to modify the facades of the building; the renovation and insulation of part of the roof and the replacement of the existing wooden windows with new ones with thermal break and double glazing. Where the attic was redone, a radiant system was installed, on a Venetian floor on the ground floor and in wood, with a herringbone pattern, on the first floor.
For the second point, part of the roof and related curbing were replaced, a portion of the attic on the first floor was consolidated and the foundations on the ground floor were rebuilt. The pre-existing beams of the floors, previously hidden by a false ceiling, were recovered and restored.
The systems were renewed thanks to the installation of an underfloor heating system, the adaptation of the sanitary water system, the installation of a condensing boiler and heat pump. The existing electrical system has been adapted based on the new distribution of the rooms.
Finally, a new photovoltaic system and related storage system were installed.
The measures adopted have led the house to obtain an energy class of A4.
