THE PRECIOUS REAL ESTATE
|
|
Building specifications
1.
Usage concept and building materials
The
inner courtyards and the outer surfaces have been planned by
the architect Dr. Alberto Pulinetti as common urban spaces,
and thus form a crossroad between home, work and social and
gastronomic services.
For
each
individual dwelling is construction a parking place in the newly built
underground garage for buying, situated on the western slope. An
elevator connects the garage with the dwellings.
|
|
|
The
still partially existing building structure, consisting of
massive natural stone, forms the base for the reconstruction
and the redevelopment following the historic style. These,
along with the brick and stone vaults and the arches will be
preserved as much as possible in their original form.
The
rural characteristic of the preserved external wall
structure will be lined internally with bricks and insulated
according to the current regulations regarding energy
conservation.
|
|
The
stairs and the landings will be restored, and if need be
completely rebuilt, and the roof terraces will be entirely
rebuilt while keeping the original style.
There
is the possibility of a choice between the “Rustico” variant,
with finishings embellished by the use of bio-materials, and
the
variant, to be refinished with your
personal touches.
2.1
Demolition work
The structures will be
cleared of debris and architectural barriers will be removed
|
|
|
|
2.2
Rough construction
The
remaining wall structure will be restored, completed and
reinforced according to the static needs.
The
existing buildings will be restructured according to the
current anti-seismic norms, while work on the load bearing
walls, support pillars and concrete beams will be carried
out subsequently.
|
|
The
partitions are for the most part made with hollowed bricks.
Entrances,
staircases and connecting corridors will be built following
the interiors architect’s instructions.
The
stairs and the landings are made of wood. The stairs in the
dwellings are separated acoustically in their support base.
The external stone walls will be internally insulated with
overlaying cane panels, coated with a clay plaster. Innovative
Radiating modules will be installed later for heating and
cooling the homes. All this guarantees an excellent thermal insulation.
|
|
|
|
2.3
Ecological Roofs, thermal accumulation and acoustic
insulation.
The
house’s coverings will be made with roof tiles and other
biological building materials, as wood,
reed
pipe and cork panels,
mat of jute, according to the insulating
norms for energy saving.
|
|
|
|
2.4
Cellars
These
will be totally restructured to a livable height with stone
vaults. Later they will be insulated against humidity so
that they may be used as taverns. Eventual appliances
(washers, dryers etc.) will be placed here as well as all
the derivations of the main heating, water and electrical
systems with the relative control panels.

Expansion
3.1
Stone façades
By
reusing and recuperating the original materials, the façades
will regain their ancient appearance.
|
|
|
|
3.2
Ceilings and Attics with
wooden beams that have an excellent thermal and acoustic
insulation value. The thickness of the wooden boards
is 30 mm.
The
cellar vaults will be cleaned and the existing cracks will
be sealed. The ceilings of the houses and the dwellings will
be plastered with clay.
|
|
|
3.3 Interior wall
surfaces
The
surfaces will be cleaned and the spaces will be filled and
partially plastered. The contact walls will be equipped with
radiating systems to block humidity. The walls of the living
quarters will be coated with light clay plaster. The visual
result, obtained with a special technique, will be a smooth
surface. The bathrooms will be finished according to the
interior architect’s specifications for a height of 1.20 m
(up to the ceiling in the shower area) with 40 x 30 cm
tiles. Above the tile work the wall will be coated with a
light clay plaster.
|
|
|
3.4 Floors
Entrances,
stairs and landings will be covered with slate and will have
a baseboard of the same material. The living and working
areas will have wooden supporting structures with ecological
jute insulating materials. The covering will be of
terracotta or wood. The bathroom covering will be in tone
with the floor. Even the interior stairs will be covered
with wood or slate, according to the floor. The terraces will be waterproofed and covered with
terracotta or slate.
|
|
|
3.5
Windows
All
windows and French doors are made of solid wood with double
thermal glass panels. Exterior wooden shutters are used
against the sun and to ventilate the rooms.
|
|
|
3.6
Doors
The
entrance doors are steel-clad and covered with solid wood.
The hinges are made of wrought iron. Besides the entrance
door a mailbox will be placed with an audio/video system and
a doorbell. Spotlights with motion sensors will be placed in
the lintel. The interior doors are solid wood with wrought
iron hinges and handles. In the “Studio” variant only
the entrance door will be installed; no interior doors or
doorframes
3.7
Railings
The
stair railings are of wrought iron or solid wood, according
to the interior architect’s plans. For the external stairs
and terraces the railings are of wrought iron.
|
|
|
3.8
Kitchen / Dishwasher
All
the kitchens have hook ups for hot and cold water, electric
sockets and discharge plumbing.
|
|
3.9
Bathrooms
All
the furniture is brand name and of Italian design. The
bathtubs and the shower plates are made of superior quality
acrylic. The showers may also be placed at the floor
level in the same material as the latter. The sink, the
suspended toilet with a built in the wall tank, and the
suspended bidet are all of white crystal porcelain. The
shower doors are made of crystal and the taps and fittings
are made in Italy with a design in harmony with the
furniture.

System
of “heating
cooling panels”
|
4.
Temperature inside the homes
The
heating and cooling of the units is achieved through an innovative method of
radiating panels and with a centralised hot water system.
The amount of used energy is calculated individually with
heating meters in each dwelling unit. All the heating supply
piping is insulated.
The
energy savings with the heating panels amounts to 20%. These
are winding coils made of plastic – aluminium – plastic
in which water circulates at a temperature of 30° – 35°
C. They are built in the layer of clay plaster that covers
the outer walls. The heat transfer is by irradiation; the
surfaces heated by the coils irradiate people and things and
heat less considerably the air. Thus a better thermal
comfort is obtained with warm walls (20°-25°C) and fresher
air (about 16°-18°C). These systems by not heating the air
do not raise dust and mainly they do not “toast” it,
causing allergies.
|
|
By
circulating water at low temperatures
they disperse much less heat towards the exterior, in
addition by having a low thermal inertia they heat the areas
in a short time, thus allowing turning on the system only a
short time before usage. They are particularly advantageous
when large volume areas have to be heated, and they may be
supplied by solar panels. This system may also be used
during the summer by circulating cold water (13°-15°C);
the area is cooled without having to condition the air,
however they require a clay plaster, which by its nature
prevents the formation of summer condensation. The ideal
placement for all radiating panel systems is on the walls,
because the vertical surfaces in an area are those that have
a greater exchange of radiation with the human body (which
indeed has a vertical development).
|
|
|
4.2
Plumbing system
The
piping, insulated according to the norms, is of plastic
material. Plastic metal is found in the installation wells.
Each dwelling has its own shut off valves and the meters for
hot and cold water. The discharge piping is made of plastic.
The eaves troughs and the outer piping for rainwater are
made of copper.
|
|
4.3
Electrical system
The
electrical system follows the Mainova norms. The number of
sockets and switches are determined according to a higher
standard. All the rooms have ceiling lights and in the
bathrooms even on the walls. Each unit has an Audio-Video
interphone. Hook-ups for TV, ASDL – Wireless are
installed in all living rooms. The electrical panel is in
the entrance.
|
|
4.4 Ventilation
The
ventilation into the bathrooms, WC's, and kitchens is
carried out by means of ventilation-canals
|
|
4.4 Ventilation
The
bathroom and kitchen ventilation is effected through vacuum
ducts.
