Veglio's Houses, a planning aimed at the well-being of people.

The concept is that of a residential building of social utility that is innovative in terms of aesthetics, which promotes the well-being of its users, and which incorporates the city that lives around it without any barriers. The project is characterized by the following salient elements: usability for all (design for all); integration into the reference context and environmental requalification of the same; compliance with the LEED sustainability protocol; compliance with wellness protocols for WELL users; nZEB energy performance; high technological content; anti-seismic structures; high levels of safety, durability, ease of maintenance and low operating costs over time; planning of works aimed at maximizing safety on site and compliance with the deadline for completion of the works.

The project is in continuous dialogue with its surroundings; wants to overcome the obsolete concept of the “social house”, incorporating the city that lives around it through common public spaces (park areas with trees, greenery and street furniture, fitness paths, play spaces, basketball court) which will be used both by future residents and by citizens who have long settled in the neighborhood.

The approach to design in terms of sustainability and user well-being was guided by the criteria of the Well and Leed protocols. The new facility will be fully accessible to people with disabilities (design for all). The building will be constructed following the parameters of green building with NZEB energy performance. The lower energy consumption of the new building allows to drastically reduce the impact on the environment and on the climate.The rainwater and gray water recovery and reuse technologies introduced in the new building make it possible to significantly reduce the consumption of water resources.Process of evaluation and reuse of existing materials, mainly inert, about 15% in weight on the total weight of the building resulting from the demolition of the walls masonry.

The project is characterized by a planning aimed at the well-being of people. The WELL design canons were followed both for the interior design (paying great attention to the value of natural light, the dialogue of the openings with the external natural environment) both for the outdoor areas (the public green area, the new basketball court, the playground for children, the relaxation area for everyone. The project is characterized by a planning aimed at the well-being of people. The WELL design canons were followed both for the interior design, paying great attention to the value of natural light, the dialogue of the openings with the external natural environment, and for what concerns the public green areas, the new basketball court , the play area for children, the relaxation area for everyone. The design choices are also oriented towards ethical and aesthetic choices which so far have not had great chances in relation to the theme of socially useful housing. The theme of well-being and aesthetic sense is a highly social theme as it is recognized that the well-being and beauty of buildings can positively influence and influence the positive behavior of its inhabitants.
