Short Description
The Villa Aosta social housing complex is located in front of the Adriatic sea. The housing complex is consist in one floor row buildings forming a courtyard open on three sides, on the fourth side 4 buildings emphasize the access to the "neighbourhood", underlined further by a reinforced concrete arch.
The settlement is completed by row buildings of two floors, plus a basement, placed inside the court. The properties of the neighbourhood "Villa Aosta" consist of homes with 1 or 2 rooms as well as a toilet and kitchen. 39 of the 82 housing, are still owned by the ERAP of Ancona.
The goals of the program are environmental regeneration and improvement of the organization of the users, with particular reference to disadvantaged people; environmental regeneration through infrastructural interventions and at the same time through the restructuring of the building block together with an increase in total useful surfaces, in order to make economically balanced the renovation of buildings.
The refurbishment allows the introduction of building types most suitable for disadvantaged users, and allows the introduction of independent building units with a minimum of green spaces of exclusive use.
Key Elements
Certification
Building inspection, energy audit, energy performance certification.
Work with Residents
Involvement of residents in the design process followed by periodical assistance by condominium meeting, control of the Thermal Central even by an home automation service (servizio domotico) with a personal card for each dwelling (Full Service Neirex Eterm).
Thermal Insulation
External thermal insulation of walls and roof, and laying frames with thermal break, with respect the characteristics of historical buildings.
Windows and Shading
Window frames in pine stained white with darkening system by wooden shutters.
