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.

181 RENOVATION AND ENLARGMENT OF CASA TF

place: Pordenone
client: Private
assignment: direct
architects: arch. Vittorio Pierini, arch. Elisabetta Lot, arch. Ivo Boscariol

The intervention involved the partial demolition and reconstruction of a small single-storey house located in a medium-density residential area near the historic center of Pordenone.


The house occupies the east side of a small lot and is on the opposite side of the vehicle and pedestrian entrance.


Respecting the constraints set by the legislation, it was decided to maximize the obtainable volume, making full use of the height of the pre-existing building in order to obtain an additional floor and a flat roof on the first floor.


In this way, a walkable surface almost double that of the existing one was obtained. The existing internal distribution was overturned, creating a large and airy living area, with large sliding windows located on opposite sides of the lounge and dining area, with a study, a bathroom, a laundry room and a pantry separate from the kitchen.


On the first floor there is access to a large external terrace both from a further open space study and from the double bedroom, equipped with bathroom.


The covered area of the building remained unchanged.

194 AVALA DENTAL – DENTAL PRACTICE

place: Pordenone

The project involves the expansion of a dental practice, created by merging 3 neighboring properties. A large surface covered in metal laminate that accompanies the visitor during their stay at the clinic characterizes the environment: it is present at the entrance, in the waiting room, in the distribution corridor direct to the dental rooms. It is an element that performs various functions, merging the front door, concealing a warehouse and a service for employees, including full-height door wardrobes. Another characterizing element is the large glazed box that serves as an office, with serigraphs in tone-on-tone colors combined with the rest of the premises, which contrasts with the silent walls with flush-mounted doors that conceal additional service rooms for employees.

The name derives Sequals according to some scholars to “sub colles” that is at the foot of the hills , others from “septem colles”. The main fraction, Lestans , is about 5 km from the capital. The hills that rise between the arch rolling foothills and the plains are taken as a reference design: the section of the building from east to west is marked by a series of pitched roofs with different size and inclination (and reference memory of the skyline of the surrounding mountains) that vary depending on the environments, characterizing spatially. The construction of the prospects for extrusion of portions of the walls and the rear position of the window relative to the wire thickness to give the building openings that are transformed into real telescopes open to the surrounding landscape. The choice to characterize the color-only floors and ceilings at the disposal of the teaching that all the walls, like the film in a movie, recount the daily activities of children, through drawings, words and teaching jobs.

157 GEA GESTIONI ECOLOGICHE E AMBIENTALI. NEW OFFICES AND CHANGING ROOMS

The building houses different functions: offices and related service rooms for 24 administrative staff, conference room for up to 99 people, rooms for use as changing rooms for 100 operational workers. The location urban layout led the design choices: the construction of a single-storey building without openings in the external elevations with the working areas facing 3 internal courtyards. From the functional point of view, there are 3 specific areas: south-east there are the administrative offices organized around a central courtyard; a second internal courtyard divides the offices from the conference room and a third separates the aforementioned conference room from the changing rooms, located north-west. The courts provide light and air to the windowed rooms, guaranteeing users environmental, sensorial and emotional quality. Externally, the facades of the building, designed with a painted exposed reinforced concrete finish, have no windowed openings and are completely covered by vegetation and plants to form a green mass. This guarantees formal recognizability, human dimension of the construction (also thanks to the one floor limited height) and improving the building energy performance. The roof is flat, covered with gravel and equipped with photovoltaic panels for energy self-sufficiency.

131 SAN QUIRINO MUNICIPAL LIBRARY

The project involves the architectural and plant renovation of a building built in the 1920s to house the city library. The building was already the subject of an intervention in the 1980s; it was radically modified both in function – originally it was the dwelling of the doctor, then it was used as medical clinics – and in the typology, with an extension on the east side and the new positioning of the stairwell. The two floors have been completely freed from the existing internal walls: the ground floor, which has become an open-space, is intended for public acceptance, book storage and reading room; the first floor has been divided into three rooms: two for children and adults, and the third for a multi-purpose room. The program also required the creation of a new multimedia environment; since it did not find its place in the existing building, an expansion was built on the south side, towards the garden.

The main generating elements of the project, that accepts and makes the orography of the place its own, taking it as a reference for the new urban design, are the natural elements (the trees) and built elements (the fountain and the war memorial). It was decided to keep them in their original location, along with the facade of the church. The layout of the square is organized according to a geometric grid that becomes the matrix of the entire project, built on the pitch of the main elements present in the public space.
